Well, there are clearly at least two opinions about that. I see it this way: 1) there is a standard, so it's nothing the Okular guys invented. 2) the argument, this limitation endangers our freedon also stands for the GPL. It clearly endangers my freedom to just sell the software modified without opening the sources. I mean ... why do I not have the freedom to do that? Well, I do not want to do it but this discussion reminds me a bit of some GPL haters that also argue it is a restrictive and thus non-free license because of the "limitations". We want all the world to respect our GPL limitations to keep things free. So we should respect other people's right to restrict their works. If you disagree, discuss it with the author who applied that limitation. As a disclaimer: I am neither a KDE packager nor an Okular developer, so it's just another opinion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
