It appears that University of Guelph and Softword are willing to
release CoSy under the GPL. (Whether the most recent sources can be
located, however, is another question.) This doesn't negate JCoSy, but
will provide something more solid to build on (perhaps the server side,
with JCoSy as a client).
More details as available.
----
JCoSy (for Java CoSy, until I find a better name) is a rewrite of CoSy in Java (the original was in C for Unix), with some enhancements that I've been wanting to add to the original (like the ability to draw graphics into messages along with text). It isn't complete yet, and it has been on the back burner for a year or so now, but lately there's been some interest expressed on the net so I'm reviving it.

JCoSy is now available for download. However,
what's available is pretty much just a snapshot of the development directory
as of when I was last working on it. There's a set of class files that
still work (here's a recent screenshot),
and all the Java source files (licensed under the GPL). This doesn't include
the NAPLPS stuff which is bundled separately, see below.
NAPLPS
JCoSy uses NAPLPS to allow graphics in messages, my Java NAPLPS decoder
package is available for download (naplps.tgz).
The tarball includes a brief README, here is the
online version.
Thanks for your patience, I'll try to answer any emailed questions.
Meanwhile you might also want to look at the
paper I wrote for BYTE about the CoSy
message storage architecture.
