I think you should assume we'll go ahead. Every response so far has
been positive, including the leading contributor who is responsible
for 99% of the code.
I don't think we should spend time trying to separate the build. We're
not trying to maintain this for third party users - most of them will
find the published code usable. It's only a problem for those of us
with BSD style licences, and even they could just replace our
module.mk files with the equivalent for their projects in a matter of
minutes, much as we will replace the bakefile.
Will you use the code that Julian sent you, or stick with the original?
