    Hey john!

    Hmm okey.. well ill think you are right..

    'Cus if i put the software here(debian-user@), people would indeed test
    it,wich would create panic if the software would crash boxes.., but i
    still (if i would want it, wich i think i will) need to go through the
    sanctioning process, if i would like it to be a part of debian releases.

    And yes. it would be under either GPL or LGPL..

    A Huge thankyou, to you!

    Best regards
