What I want is for Debian to hold to the principles it has set itself. I feel LyX has some of the same problems as KDE, and that if there was agreement on that, that the similar actions should be taken. I feel that Debian-legal could discuss it rationally. The only reason I included the first line was to make it clear what LyX's place in Debian is and that I wasn't attacking it out of maliciousness. If it comes down to that - where it gets removed from contrib - I will write a polite email to the authors concerning the license and download the code and compile it myself. I might also find the time to convert LyX to a free toolkit like GTK or FLTK. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Repent, Harlequin", said the Ticktock man.
