Jerry James writes: In the cases of Motif and Qt RMS disagreed vehemently, including bringing his lawyers into it. He won those without going to court[1], so AFAIK there's no legal precedent one way of the other. So I've heard (from Tiemann and Henckel-Wallace, no less). I don't blame the lawyers. I would not mess with the US government on the munitions nonsense, and I don't even live there. Have a nice Thanksgiving weekend! :-) Footnotes: [1] X/Open's Motif was rare on OSS distros, and Lesstif and OpenMotif were developed pretty quickly, so nobody really cared. Similarly, although many developers preferred Qt/KDE to GTK+/GNOME, GTK+ was good enough that nobody was willing to pay legal expenses. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
