thanks for the clarification. I also noticed that you use LEDA which
is another non-free component. Looking at
http://vega.ijp.si/Htmldoc/people/people.htm
it seems that a lot of functionality was implemented. Can you give us
the background story of what happened with the project, i.e. why it
has failed/went dormant?
It would be really great to get some list of what functionality is
available with GPL V2 or later compatible license and what it depends
upon.
Cheers,
Michael
