     Technically its still copyrighted.  Even though say a website
     might have 2002 on it the copyright implication is still
     current under the law.  Its actually only required once ot
     document it but not to update the dates.  There are exceptions
     to every rule on this but source code is included.

     Yes 2.5 was the code and that's out there.  But after 2.7
     the code was 95% rewritten from ground up.   This means
     that code no way resmbles the 2.5 code.  So I say go ahead.
     I doubt anyone will mind at this point :)  Unless of course
     you make a bbs package that oddly aside from colors looks
     JUST like TG :)

     I've seen 80% of the current 3.09 code and the old 2.5 code
     and it was an interesting change.
