Re: [Freemind-developer] SimplyHTML source code should be included in FreeMind source code distributions

Do you have links to these articles? SimplyHTML cannot disappear as long as
it is on SourceForge. And if SourceForge would disappear, so would FreeMind.
So this is most probably practically irrelevant argument.

If indeed GNU GPL would require us to include in our CVS all the source code
of all the libraries that we use, we would have in the extreme to include
the source code of JavaRE in our CVS ;).
