Sure, but I think he's said before that he's not interested in using CVS.

Hmm. Well, this didn't seem like a sticky issue to me at first. Naturally I'd 
like to see VDR in CVS for all the standard reasons.

Maybe we should ask Klaus?

Hey Klaus:

Suppose I took VDR, patched it with a lot of the patches floating around, and 
put the source up on my home page for people to download. How would you feel 
about that? Regardless of what the GPL allows, would you personally be 
offended?

If not, what would be the difference if I put it in a public CVS and did the 
same thing? Maybe that in CVS it would look like an "official" VDR code base?

For all following this thread: This thread was not initiated in any hostile 
manner. Not only am I not interested in hijacking VDR, I'm not knowledgeable 
enough to develop it further. :)
