That's not for me to answer. Steve (VB Accelerator guy) has the copyright on
the original source. Any modifications I make are fine to be copyright
CollabNet.
Indeed any stuff I write are more than ok to be copyright CollabNet.

Yes the UI portion is in VB, the COM objects are in ATLized C++. All of the
above sounds fine to me. All of VB Accelerators code is in VB, but I was
planning on checking in only the source for modified controls/objects.
I'm no UI expert either, so feel free to take a look at the WinCVS 1.1bX UI,
and the prototype once it's in against your local SVN tree and then start
giving comments!
