So are we! :-)

I am very glad to hear that. I was hoping for this, but unfortunately 
this was not clear from the past events (which apparently were based on 
some miscommunication :-/).

This is a pity, of course. But by releasing the source, you allow 
others to start from your work and improve on it (but of course you 
will have to get credited for it, no matter whether your can keep 
working on it or now).

Ah, this explains a lot. I was communicating with you over that email 
address in the past. At some point I didn't get any replies anymore, 
but neither was there ever an error message. Maybe you should contact 
your former employer and request them to a) send you all the emails in 
your IN box there, and b) terminate that mail account, or equip it with 
a redirect, or something like that :-)

If the file is available form your site, that should be fully 
sufficient! I am very glad to hear this and look forward to seeing your 
source mods released.

P.S.: I tried to call you today with the number given in the WHOIS 
entry of dreo.org, but it seems the number is invalid?
