I think that http://www.gadugi.org/ is no more. It went net dead soon
after the http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0501.1/1425.html
and http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0501.1/1503.html
messages were exchanged. I had previously left comments on the gadugi
website indicating that as he was discussing the license that it
wouldn't be compatible with the Open Source definition that was located
at http://opensource.org/docs/definition.php .

Anyway I have not been in contact with Jeff since the website stopped
responding.
