Please again, do _not_ mail me directly (this is the last time that I will
respond) and instead use the Arabeyes' "developer" mailing-list.

Great, then GPL it will be.

Wonderful, do please let us know what that is done.

Again, your best bet is to post to Arabeyes' "developer" mailing-list
post subscribing since all the info you seek is there,

  http://www.arabeyes.org/mailinglists.php

I am again CC'ing your mail and this reply to 'developer' and as noted
won't reply to any more private email (hope you see the wisdom in that :-)

Salam.
