Hmm. I think that the GNU coding style guide (above) is more relevant here, but you have a good point. > The situation changes immediately if the named sites actually also > license or sell the software their site is running on. Scorio sells ipad apps; it's not clear how closely tied those are to their website software. But I think this is exactly what "granting legitimacy to the use of any non-free program" is referring to. You have a stronger point about tunefl. But I still think the coding standards are still firmly against it. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
