--=-=-= hi. there has been diskussion on the lynx-dev list on the license. lynx (text browser) isn't GPL, but one cannot say that it is in the public domain, either. numerous people have contributed over time, some of which cannot be contacted anymore. there are japanese/CJK versions floating around and parts of the code can't be attributed to anybody anymore. thomas dickey, lynx' main maintainer and most people on the list would like to have this issue cleared up, so that we might opt for making it a source-forge/savannah project or whatever. what is your opinion in this matter? do you have any information on who wrote what under which license? regards, clemens fischer --=-=-= Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline X-From-Line: alias Tue Nov 19 19:10:34 2002 Received: (qmail 30242 invoked by uid 10101); 19 Nov 2002 18:10:33 -0000 Delivered-To: ino-qc@spotteswoode.de.eu.org Received: (qmail 30226 invoked from network); 19 Nov 2002 18:10:30 -0000 Received: from localhost (HELO spotteswoode.dnsalias.org) (ino@127.0.0.1) by spotteswoode.dnsalias.org with SMTP; 19 Nov 2002 18:10:28 -0000 Received: (qmail 88253 invoked from network); 19 Nov 2002 18:03:07 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO dfw-listserv1.email.verio.net) (129.250.36.34) by mail.webmonster.de with SMTP; 19 Nov 2002 18:03:07 -0000 Received: from majordom by dfw-listserv1.email.verio.net with local id 18ECgu-0003Hz-00; Tue, 19 Nov 2002 18:01:40 +0000 Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 13:02:35 -0500 (EST) From: "Thomas E.
