This means that there is a tiny chance we'll be getting it, as far as I understand. I really don't see Optical and Cschurz coding this in the near future. There are more important things to be done.

for future reference claw you just need to look on the right side of their bukkit page in the little facts box
and you're looking for this little bit:
License
GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3)
the gnu gpl means it's open source. it's free to copy, modify or distribute by anyone, you could even alter the code and charge people for it, so long as you attach the gnu gpl and make it open source for anyone who should purchase it from you.
Redchecks:
This looks good but as Wyboth said... What is being linked is never a certain thing. But the same goes with using tinyurl or goo.gl. But whether it's down tot he user to be aware of the risks and they can obviously choose to click it. Has been that way with all shortened url links given in chat
optical:
The fact that you cannot tell where the link will take you is too large a risk for the small inconvenience of having large links in chat from time to time. Don't think this will be implemented.

See, I thought about this and it was brought up, but is it the same thing as goo.gl or tinyurl.. :-\

The fact that this COULD be used to cause harm shouldn't scare you out of using it. In fact, this caution would not help in the least bit because if someone were to want to trick someone into clicking on a malicious link, they could just manually plug the link into tinyurl and post that.
