I don't believe that Debian *has* a Motif-linked XEmacs on their ftp server, but if they do, then all it should take to get it removed is to file a bug report. That's what happened to KDE. Violations of policy (and law) are considered bugs. Some individual may have had a grudge against KDE which motivated them to file the bug report against KDE, but that doesn't mean that Debian is part of some anti-KDE conspiracy. > Will Debian remove LyX from their ftp server?

I don't have it installed, but if it is licensed under the GPL, then you're probably right, and you're free to file a bug report against it. If you don't want to do so, then I'll check it out and file the bug report myself if needed. If you (or I) file a bug report against LyX and it *doesn't* get removed (or recompiled with a more appropriate library if possible), *then* you'll have a reason to complain that Debian is playing favorites. As it is, Debian is run by volunteers, who don't always have time to track down every nit in the system, which is why the bug reporting system exists. I'm not a free software fanatic (I use Debian because I like the packaging system and menu system), but I honestly do *not* understand why the KDE team objects to clarifying the KDE license to explicitly allow linking with Qt.
