Dear Corbin,

  forgiveness to both of us, agreed.

  From my point of view there are some tips I'd like to share with you 
at the end here, you maybe should check that once again before exactly 
the same package is listed once again at Play Store. Take the following 
situation as a basis, where on my and other peoples' tablet OdePkg is 
still installed and is not listed on Play Store any more. I've searched 
all of my tablet for at least your contact informations, but could not 
find any, people cannot get into contact with you any more about OdePkg.

  Next, you deliver dldsolver.oct in form of lib__file0.so as a binary 
file within the package. Therefore at least §3 of the underlying GPL V2 
should be taken under account where you can still choose between 2 of 3 
options (I think you can't choose option 3.3 any more because you 
require money to make it working). 3.1 says you can deliver the binary 
file together with the source files and 3.2 gives you the option to 
deliver a written offer...

  Further, dldsolver.oct is build of various *cc files that I've 
written with an underlying GPL V2 but also uses some Fortran files that 
I've not written and come with other licenses like e.g. a 3 clause BSD 
license with the daskr solver and even some other licence with the 
radau* solvers. They clearly want the copyright notice to be shared - 
which isn't. All licence files are included in the source package of 
OdePkg, please make sure that you can still deliver your package that 
way you do without even breaking other's people licences - which again 
is meant as a tip for your next release.

Ok, now, enough from my side. Keep on coding!

  Thomas
