Hey everyone.  I am the author of the IMSP classes that you are referring 
to here.

I would be more then happy to see these put to use within the Horde 
project.  I do understand that the Horde framework itself is LGPLed.  I 
would prefer to keep the licensing of the classes as GPL...however, I would 
be willing to allow the Horde project to use my code under the LGPL so long 
as any additions or improvements to the functionality of the classes are 
submitted back to me for inclusion in my source.

FWIW, I have been (very slowly) working to include support for other 
authentication methods.  So far, the only other working method is CRAM-MD5. 
Kerberos was on my 'wish-list' but sadly, have not had the time to even 
start looking at it yet.

Martin had mentioned to me that he made some minor fixes and would send me 
a patch for inclusion.  Once I receive that, I will patch my most recent 
source and make that available.

Is there any thing special in the way of official documentation  that the 
project would need to allow the LGPL use?

Regards -
Mike
