 Hi C. Hutchinson,
 
 some questions / remarks.
 
 Using the command `diff -nruw' I see no no code addition / improvement
 
 However, you have changed the original license and and added your name
 and  BSDforge as additional Copyright holder.
 
 - * Copyright 2003 Sönke Tesch. All rights reserved.
 - * Version 20031023
 + * Copyright 2003 Sönke Tesch. All rights reserved.
 + * Copyright 2014 C Hutchinson, All rights reserved.
 
 Some reasons why I additional dislike the License change:
 
 + * 4. Neither the name of BSDforge, nor the names of its contributors
 + *    may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this
 + *    software without specific prior written permission.
 + *

 - * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'' AND ANY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
 + * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE PERLWATCH ORGANIZATION ''AS IS'' AND
 
 
 My personal opinion:
 
 I see no code improvements that allows such Lic. changes (cleanup whites paces
 and using iconv to convert a file from ISO-8859 to UTF-8 was never a reason to
 add an individual to the Copyright or allow to change the License terms.
 
 I have contacted the original src. Author from mod_log_mysql, so please
 be patient and stay tuned until I have feedback from Sönke.
