| |Anyone know what the license is of the OSCx code in CVS is? On the |files themselves, the license is a non-free license.

(This isn't a political issue, its a legal issue. UC |Berkeley could sue SourceForge, guenter, or me, for example, for |violating their license). | |This is from the top of externals/OSCx/src/dumpOSC.c: | |"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its |documentation for educational, research, and not-for-profit purposes, |without |fee and without a signed licensing agreement, is hereby granted, |provided that |the above copyright notice, this paragraph and the following two |paragraphs |appear in all copies, modifications, and distributions.
