Pippijn,

It might not be immediately obvious to everyone reading this list, so
I think it is worthwhile to explain that librona is a separate project
not directly connected with Aldor, but that it is required in order to
compile the modifications you have recently made to Aldor which are
also available at your web site:

http://xinutec.org/~pippijn/en/projects_aldor.xhtml

I have no problem at all with your proposed licensing terms.

Regards,
Bill Page.
