Mark,

Thanks for comments on technical points. I'll fix the mirror link and 
re-mail the patch with mutt.

> Is the license really gpl2 and not gpl2+?

re: Licensing, my impression was that "gpl2+" only applies if the 
authors specifically invoke "any later version" when they distribute the 
software, per clause 9 of the GPL 2

"9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any 
later version", you have the option of following the terms and 
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by 
the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version 
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the 
Free Software Foundation."

Upstream lists the project as:
"License
GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2)"
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dcfldd/

Am I in error?
