Could someone change the name to irssi (lowercase) and change the license to GPL? :)

I've tried a few other irssi clients like BitchX or IrcII and I've always come back to irssi. It has everything one need for IRC, supports multiple servers and networks. Running 0.8.10 is highly recommended as it is better unicode support and can even have different charsets for each channel.
