Yes, I have sent three pings about this during those 4 months and I will probably send a few more in the future if necessary. I was hoping we could do something without a reaction from Tarn Adams, but I think there was a bit too much wishful thinking from my side involved. Of course this doesn't make the underlying copyright issue go away, so I will just have to work around the library problems without modifying the library. Thank you for having looked into this!
