I really liked the idea of this script and wanted to use it for a couple projects...however, I discovered a 'fatal' flaw while trying to get things to work.

The import scripts have

On Svetlozars website, he makes it quite clear that this data is not to be distributed freely and is for commercial use only. This module will have to be rebuilt cleanly or disbanded all together. Sorry to break the bad news.

Refiling over to the infra queue for action. The offending file is here:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/dcl_importe...

The module author hasn't replied to the issue since it was opened in October, so I would recommend just removing the module and sending him an email.

It seems to me that the code is based on the (older version of the) demo script http://svetlozar.net/page/Import-Gmail-Addresses.html

and this is the actual header of the demo file

If that is the case, the original author didn't report the License he adopted, which is contrary to Drupal policies that require the License to be explicitly declared as GPL.

It's also suggested to not use code coming from other projects.
