Just curious,
But is he *allowed* to view the code? I realize its pseudo-Open
Source, but to my understanding one cannot even look at GPL code
without fear of "infecting" whatever project you may be working
on. If Vadim looks a the code, decides "Nah, I can do this in two
weeks time" and then the overwrite system appears in 7.2 aren't
there issues there?
