I suggest that Raymond keep picking the GPL issues of Impro-Visor, till
everything is fixed. I'm not saying that Raymond should join now or that he
can't have his fork, but I hope that at some point Raymond can join the
Impro-Visor project and help improving Impro-Visor. Cause imho this will be
the best for all parties including and especially the end-user.
