Yes, in fact, i think we have already talk about that. A part of the
code was hidden, it is no more. Concerning the QPL licence, i don't see
what code you are talking about, i will browse the code tonight.

Maybe i will begin to package mldonkey and then ask for an advocate ( i
already package mtink... i think i know some basis, but i need to be
more accurate, especially for packaging ocaml things ).

At last a question : where can i find ocaml-packaging policy ? There is
file in /usr/share/doc/ocaml* but i am note sure that this is the most
up to date document.
