All copyright holders for the Dia code have released their code under the GPL, and it would be infeasible to find them all to change it. If the original poster is not willing to distribute Dia under the GPL, then he cannot distribute it. I as current maintainer can clearly say that he can distribute it all he wants as longs as it is done in accordance with the GPL. -Lars ___ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
Re: Request to include your program on Open Source CD for University of Derby UK students
I don't see this as a discussion to change the license. As Matt states, it's just a question of management that doesn't "get" the GPL, so they send out people to ask if they can use this software. Trouble is, as I see it, we can't just say "yeah go ahead and use it". We have to tell Matt that he is free to use it, and in fact, we couldn't stop him if we wanted, as long as he respects the GPL. But then we're back to scaring Matt's management, since they don't "get" the GPL...

A magazine publisher once asked me for advice about the GPL; I told him that as long as he distributed the lincese verbatim with the work, and as long as he included the source code with the software or provided it on request, he should be fine.

Creating custom properties
I would like to be able to create custom properties on a shape to store additional metadata. Is this possible? Is this only possible if I create the shapes? Can a shape have code executed when an event, such as selecting, it occurs? Can this be written in Python? I used Google and could not find anything. The Dia--list search page says that searching crashed sometime last year.

It doesn't help that Microsoft calls GPL a virus and uses FUD campaigns. :/ On 2/26/07, Branko Collin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 26 Feb 2007 at 9:24, Martin Boegelund wrote: > I don't see this as a discussion to change the license.

A brief note that pre5 is out, mainly due to the fix of a nasty text-related crash bug.
