Sure, but Trevor is claiming that he wrote it because of the license issue. Since he has publically ranted three times:

about how terrible my changes to JSMin.php were, in September, December and January, I can't help but think that there was another motive for this rewrite.
I have no problem with Trevor reverting that change, I said so the second time this came up, so I think it's amusing that Trevor needed the excuse of license incompatibility before he actually did something. I'm glad that he's finally found the motivation from somewhere, so that he can stop bothering me with his periodic rants.
This is really unnecessary and unhelpful on a public mailing list. I think we'd all be better off if snark like this were kept to private channels.
