I should have a release available in less than a week.
As I get closer to releasing it, I keep finding tiny
things that need to be adjusted to fit the new 
free and open model. Also, I've decided to call it 3.0.0,
rather than 3.0 alpha. The "alpha", "beta", "official"
system of the past doesn't make much sense anymore.
I expect we'll have more frequent releases (3.0.1, 3.0.2, ...), 
and we won't be aiming at some sort of perfect "official" release.
The thing will be constantly improving in small increments 
and will have a quicker feedback loop from users regarding bugs etc.

I've created a tentative license. It will be in the download package
and you can also read it here:

If you see any serious problems with it let me know.
I could still change it. It's a very generous license,
but I really can't see any closed source group taking
advantage of us. Also, I want people to be able to 
add their own Binder/shrouder encryption, and keep it closed source.
I also want a license that encourages people to use Euphoria and
not get scared away, or turned off, by reading a long 
threatening legal document.
