That's Okay.

I have informed MySQL AB already to seek clarification on it.

Yes I saw that too hence my original mail.

I suspect they have modified the source to accept its configurations
from a MySQL database and maybe the plugins as well. But most likley the
plugins pass their data back to a handler that then enters their data
into the database. Nice, I know there has been discussion on this before
and it is a nice feature. They are within their rights to protect the
PHP code they have written, which AFAICS is the largest part of their
own work. If I could figure out how they actually pass the data back to
the SQL server, then I would write my own frontend and GPL it out with
all the nice pretty graphs and all :)

Any support I can give then should the team decide to persue it, I will
offer.
Thanks Again
