      Spoon addresses method, class, and module licensing information 
explicitly in the forthcoming 2a13 release (with methods licensable at 
the source-code level with character granularity and at the instruction 
level with instruction granularity). The licenses themselves are also 
objects with behavior (so that one can specify the effects of mixing 
licenses, etc.). This stuff is all part of Spoon's history system (an 
object-based replacement for the sources and changes files).

      Please feel free to discuss this stuff with me in real time on the 
#spoon IRC channel at irc.freenode.net.


      thanks,
