There is actually one little problem... Eric Warmenhoven, the guy who commited
the yahoo code had no clue that this code is used by Trillian. Noone from the
GAIM team except himself has the right to dual license his code. And the second
thing is: take a close look on the commit messages:
It a) references external persons
rev 1.11: Valdis Kletnieks (sysphrog) suggested this fix.
This seems really odd to me. Typical Yahoo.
(The fix is actually only a "+1" fix)
b) has mysterious comments...
rev 1.12: this seems... i don't know.
(sounds to me like... Hmmm got this code commited it, but don't know if or why
it is better)
