I'll chime as well about this and the license points.

Simply, my concern is not with the MixMinion application -- if you want to
break it into little mini-apps that each handle a different part, that's
none of my business. What I am concerned about is that the Type III
protocol gets designed in a way that is beneficial the anonymous remailer
network.

Regarding the license: again, it's not my business what license MixMinion
is released under. I am strongly against the GPL, and I think the AGPL is
even worse -- but that's why I'll be releasing Mixmaster 4.0 under a less
restrictive license. :)
