Has anyone checked 2.5? Does the date restriction code exist there as well?
It seems like MIT was planning the 2.6 release from the start. To go to this
amount of trouble while leaving a UN-modified, legal version available
would be counter-productive (unless they are counting on 2.6 flooding 2.5
off the net).
