Re: License question: releasing an extension that includes buildr-derived code

[Rhett Sutphin <rh...@detailedbalance.net>]

Hi,

Thanks to both of you for the clarification.  I'm including the  
Intalio statement in NOTICE, too.

(I've pushed an initial version of the separated code to github[1].   
I'll announce it on user@buildr once there's an actual release.)

Thanks again,
Rhett
