[Search-l] why is Wikia's the only frontend? [Was: wrong questions]

[Jeremie Miller]

The cost of setting up another front-end is very low, as you pointed  
out "svn co http://svn.swlabs.org/re.search" and particularly looking  
in the "cool" folder then modding/hacking away, the results will load/ 
work from the html files loaded locally even.

I've just been waiting for someone to ask about the license, you're  
the first!  For a lightweight/little codebase like this I'm a fan of  
the very very open ones, even public domain (since people copy html/JS  
all the time the way it is).  Any strong preferences?

I'd like to also suggest discussions around the UI (including licenses  
for it) continue on the search-ui at wikia.com list which is dedicated to  
any <discussion style="type:gritty" /> :)
