[Cwo] Writelog contest module support on CWops server?

[Alan Maenchen]

Writelog.com hosts the MMTTY install program and also "3rd party modules"
from SM6SRW. However, they also use pointers for other modules from DC3HB
and DL1EFD so it's a mixed bag.

Don't think anyone has asked W5XD if this could be hosted by Writelog.com  I
shall do that today. Worst case, they say no and we host it.  I think the
liability issue is extremely low. I'm more interested in having
writelog.comhost this because that's a natural place to go to get new
contest modules.
BTW, I'm no lawyer, but I don't think there's much difference between
pointing to software and hosting it. These days if I sneeze, a guy in China
blames me for his cold.
