That would be cool. As it is now, it's a real drawback: It effectively
prohibits distribution of synz because everyone I'd give it to would
be obliged to ask the author for written consent first. If the author
suddenly decides to not write permissions anymore or isn't able to do
so anymore, synz would be frozen and so would projects, that build on
it. I don't think, that's what the author is intending.

Ciao
