Can we use this script? The links listed to contact the author doesn't work anymore, but it doesn't say that it is open source, what we have is:

that isn't GPL, isn't it?

No, it's not GPL, and therefore shouldn't be in there. This code is, though! I spotted the same issue ages ago, wrote my own version as GPL, but never got around to actually filing an issue.

Here's a patch which replaces the non-GPL rotator with GPL.

Hmm. Looks like there's a duplicate issue for AboutPeople theme.

Same issue, same rotator, different project - http://drupal.org/node/539480

Priority: Normal » Critical

Marking as critical, since GPL violations in CVS are not acceptable. Maintainer, please take care of this promptly and roll a new release.

Any movement here? If this is still an issue by the time I get back from DrupalCon Paris (a little over a month after the issue was opened) we will have to look at unpublishing the theme.

Hello everybody
i'm sorry i didn't fix this issue, got a lot of problem during this period.
I'm trying to use xurizaemon's patch without success

i wonder if it works as the previous one (which worked by pointing the rotator in the css file)

i'm away now and i can't work on a linux stations, can you attach the .php file so i can download it?

thanks
