Very much so -- full agreement in principle by all parties to release under
the MPICH2 license (which is sweet and minimal). I had prepared one tarball
fro everybody to inspect, got some feedback and need to incorporate
it. Unfortunately I got help up doing that, but a resolution should happen
'soon'.
Hth, Dirk

Ok, I just put two hours into this and prepared a new tarball that I
submitted to the authors / owners. With some luck, I should hear back in a
few days or weeks, and it should then be ready for re-release.
