The current version still has lots of bugs *sigh*, and the license is still quite undefined. Actually up to now I just used Be's sample code license. The current code has some bugs corrected from the published version on BeBits. But I'm undergoing a total rewrite and I plan to put it under GPL (yeah I hear you screaming), maybe I will use a dual licence GPL/MIT (Mozilla now uses 3 licences concurrently :) ). This will depend on the other software I will use code from also (thinking about ffmpeg...). I can't tell much more for now, because either I want to make the surprise, and also I don't want to make to many promises. <snip> > Things are getting done and we are making a lot of progress!

Anyway I should have some more next week, and by the end of Feb the courses are over, so I assume I'll have some more time also (don't want to be to optimistic anyway, we'll see). François.
