Taking over broken subroutines??by astaines (Curate) |

There is an important issue which goes beyond Ovid's elegant solution. There should be a way to take over deceased modules. Text::CSV comes to mind. Is there any group who would be willing to arbitrate here? -- I would propose that a module could only be taken if the original developer does not reply for a certain period, say three months or six months. Is this a runner or are there insuperable copyright issues?
