[GLLUG] Burnbox Future

[Chick Tower]

I don't have any objection to you releasing it as an open-source 
project, Clay, or to you hosting the project on your server.  If you had 
wanted to make it a proprietary product, that wouldn't have set well 
with me, as it was a project you took over and that had its birth in 
GLLUG.  Just be sure to create your own license for it, because we don't 
have enough open-source licenses yet.  "We ain't done 'til there's 1,001!"
