After 2 years, and more than 350 pieces of mail exchanged with "the

right people" at Stanford, we finally succeed at getting the parts of
the code they wrote to be released under a BSD license.  The other
components were written by USC and Xerox (who were quick at helping, 5
days and 6 weeks if I recall).  Of the ~200 authors we have contacted
regarding license issues, this institution has been THE WORST to deal
with, and to think -- this is an American University.  How far the edifice
of educational freedom has fallen.... shame on you Stanford.
