Bugs item #481573, was opened at 2001-11-13 20:05 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=390117&aid=481573&group_id=27350 Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: requires non-free software for searching Initial Comment: On your front page you suggest Glimpse, which is horridly non-free: http://www.arco.de/~kj/harvest/glimpse-license-status This program is GPL, so a user might assume that it's dependancies are GPL. Please provide hooks for Swish-E http://swish-e.org/ or Swish++ http://homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/software/swish/ which are GPL replacements. If I am in error and this feature allready exists in lxr, please change the content of http://lxr.linux.no/ to suggest Swish-E or Swish++. I might note that I caught this as a part of our department's implementation of Bugzilla (bonsai uses lxr) which is a mission-critical application for development here, and now that we know that Glimpse has *never* been in the public domain (the source we found had a misleading copyright file) we need to find a replacement or pay up before the audit rolls around. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=390117&aid=481573&group_id=27350 |
