OTOH, there may be valid reasons for TransGaming not to licence things like OLE/COM improvements back as X11 or LPGL.
In fact the OLE/DCOM work Ove did has been licensed back to ReWind under the X11 license, and I have a partial merge sitting on my hard disk. It worked well enough for the app I ported while at QinetiQ which did some rather advanced things with COM, but is not of merge quality yet.
Doing a proper merge though is really not that easy, in particular Ove and Marcus have duplicated quite a bit of work, and figuring out the correct "seams" to merge along is tricky.
At some point I need to make it build again, and send in a big patch like Ove did for me, so that if somebody else feels like doing a better job they can do.
