Obviously,=20= +=20 +this=20fork happened before 2002 (i.e., before DXPC release 3.8.1), as=20= +=20 +libxcomp3=20in NoMachine's NX ships the previously used BSD license=20=20 +template.=20I am not sure, if that fork was easy for you or actually a=20= +=20 +nuisance.=20I may only guess at this point.

As the copyright holder, I agree with=20=20 +modifications=20of code bases that originate before the change to=20=20 +BSD-2-clause=20license got introduced in 3.8.1 of DXPC. + +And...
