Thread: contrib/otherlock
Someone (David Fetter?) mentioned long ago that contrib/userlock could not be moved into core because it is GPLed, and the author couldn't be contacted to ask about re-licensing. Andrew(@supernews) wrote a specification for the userlock functionality, and I implemented the attached code based on his specification, without consulting the existing source. It's available under a BSD license, if there's any use for it. -- ams
