As I believe this is a company effort, I think somebody got time to work on release a 2.3.4 version with the new licensing. After that of course he got a new assignment.

I think the examples in the source package are good for now as any user can install a source package (not just root). Maybe mentioning something along those lines in a README file somewhere in one of our packages does not hurt though. I.e. that example code is available. Paul
