Dont worry, as you can see (or read) English is not my first language, it is
my third language.

Even the class is free, it must have my name there, if you use a portion of
the code it means that you accept what the BSD License say.

I think that Gregory Beaver <greg+at+chiaraquartet+dot+net> (
http://news.php.net/php.pear.dev/48696) shows many proves that the code was
write by me.

Personally I don't believe the story of some other one copy the code,
removes only the copyrights, and give him without copyrights.

Get the class is so easy, if you Google "php amazon s3 stream wrapper", or
"php amazon s3 client", you can see on the first the result my class, so a
PHP programmer will google something similar to that easily than a mere
mortal or a "client"
