Hello Stephen,

Great that someone has taken this on. I'll take a look this week.

Cheers,

Hi Tony

Thanks for agreeing to take a look. Since I pushed my changes I have been looking into the copyright as some of the Vuze code is GPLv2 only, some is GPLv2 or later, some is not specified. In addition Vuze is including code with other licenses such as Apache, MIT and EPL, so I need to understand if that causes any problems. I noticed a bug had been raised against Redhat's packaging [1] of the code in terms of licensing and followed it through to a discussion with Vuze's authors whom are looking to clarify the licensing [2].
