Author

The original Author was Sergey Lyubka. He still controls the original Mongoose project. However, he has changed or said he would change licenses after writing and distributing the original code this project is based on.

Using this project ensures the MIT licenses terms are applied and GPL cannot be imposed on any of this code as long as it is sourced from here.

For the latest and greatest code and features, please use the Mongoose code from Sergey Lyubka. However, doing so will require adherence to the new licenses.
