No let’s correct this before we go any further! This is NOT a branch off, but in fact a continuation of Catzwolf's version of the Downloads module that he was developing. (I'm sure you will find many posts in this forum that state this fact).
I really did not wish to have our team brought into the politics of all this, but I felt on this case I should say something regarding this before this all gets out of hand and let the truth be known.
Due to some misinformation, we where not informed at the time that this was a continuation of the Downloads module but we thought this part of the WF series of modules. We only knew of this when Herko told us that we where not allowed to continue to develop this module, the Spotlight and EvenNews modules as they where to be developed at the XOOPS Dev website. Funnily enough, we where only told this after we turned down his offer of joining the module team and talking our development over there.
I believe that Catzwolf has already stated to Herko that he does want or give the XOOPS Module team permission to use his work/code and asked it to be removed for the XOOPS CVS, but Herko has ignored Catzwolf completely regarding this. So it's a case of don’t do has I do but do as I tell you?'

Stand on what? What s**t is this? This is supposed to be ‘open source’ and unless the definition of GPL and GNU has changed since I last looked, then we are quite within our rights to modify/change and distribute the code in whatever form or shape unless otherwise stated. Are you trying to tell me that no one else has ever modified and release another version of a ‘core’ module? I beg to differ on this one =)
Maybe you should change your license to ‘control ware’?
Well, all I can say I now completely understand why Catzwolf decided to leave.
Totally bewildered.
