[JDEV] Any license for Transports?

[Wes Meltzer]

Hi guys. I've just been lurking around, don't mind me-- but this message caught
my eye. Actually, they're absolutely free to do so, because although they're
publishing their protocol, it's still THEIR server, and you're not paying for
the service.

However, what they can't do is change /your/ code. They can change their own,
legally speaking, as much as they want, because as I recall there's no
guarantee given that the TOC server will remain in un-altered form. They can
break your transport, yes, by changing the server end.
