I don't know Deuce well, in fact I don't see him around much anymore but he is heavily involved with Synchronet to this day. I see his commits in the Synchronet programming area regularly.

I don't think he would feel badly if folks took his work and incorporated it into their own projects. It's open source and folks just need to give credit where credit is due.

I've always thought it would be great if there was a place where people could get the stuff they need to be secure and the synchronet project might be a good place to do that.

Probably want to get Deuce's OK to do that but I think he'd be pleased. He might even be willing to work on a generally available repo for that so other BBS projects have a place to goto for that and don't have to reinvent it all.
