I don't know about you guys but I don't want Google to infest the
license. Michal, either you join the license with your name only or
forget about the patch.
I've had very bad experiences with big companies having
licensing-rights on smaller software. If you see Google in a license,
always be aware of the army of lawyers they have behind them.
This is too much of a risk to carry!
!!!!
Concerning the patch itself: Is the added huge complexity worth it for
this small feature?
Cheers
