14 That was with ion3 IIRC. Something about the author changing the license
15 from GPL to "don't patch ion3 ever without telling me about it and
16 showing me your patches so I can approve them".

20 As far as the original ion is concerned, the masking seems perfectly in
21 order. If someone wants it, that person can step up and do the work
22 (directly or via proxy).
