Hi! I found a mail from you on slime-devel where you have started a slime backend which includes some socket code for GCL. I'd like to extend usocket (http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket/) to support GCL and you have already done 90% of that work, so, I'd like to have your permission and take the code (if it is yours to give) into usocket. What's the license you put on it? usocket is currently under MIT license. Does your contribution as linked to in the link below fall into the same category (public domain) as the rest of SLIME? http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2005-April/003392.html Thanks in advance! bye, Erik.
