If that is what is holding things back I would be more than willing to 
throw the MT under LGPL (it turns out we are not going to need it for 
the role I thought.)  With a working reference model it would be rather 
easy to update the MT to use the most recent broker infrastructure...  
There are also a batch of updates to the MT that Greg did back in the 
day which are antecedents of the MT code which is floating around out 
there, so some of the more egregious bugs are probably already fixed.
