Steve: I think you got this feedback elsewhere in another discussion, but for the record I'd like to clarify here that one does NOT require permission to port a module from Drupal to Backdrop CMS. However, we do encourage folks to contact the Drupal 7 module maintainer as a courtesy and invite them to help with the port or at least inform them of your intention.

But ultimately I would like to do a cleaner solution and convert the old <br> tags over to <p> tags using code. I love regexps so it's no problem to massage the HTML to what I want;...
Suggested topic for the dev meeting: jQuery (another attempt ;-) )
I'm still working on wiping out the usage of deprecated functions in core, wherever possible.

I've just downloaded and converted with the Coder_Upgrade module and the D7 uc_feeds module and it worked... Yeah me!!!!
I'll look into messaging the original provider of the D7 module and see if I can get permission to officially move it across to BD
Watch this space!
I went ahead and ran it through coder upgrade myself and it also worked for me.
I have not issues a full release yet, so it is not on BackdropCMS.org. But you can download and use it directly from Github.

EDIT: It is now on BackdropCMS.org
