I have nothing against you working from our codebase, but I'm sad you 
didn't feel like contributing more to the community; I think you'll find 
that a lot of the people who make their patches - "hacks" - for IMP public 
find acceptance for them and get them mainlined, thus eliminating the whole 
porting thing...

While people are picking nits, the MIME code and the Registry are all under 
the LGPL, not the GPL. So if you are distributing derived work under the 
GPL, you're technically removing rights that people should have to that 
code and violating the license.
