quite an allegation, and as far as it concerns me you couldn't be further
from the truth.

well, this "little reminder" might (as i wrote earlier) cause some rather
nasty legal issues (even if no one sues).

also --- give _what_ back? maybe xmlvm is not perfect yet, but it's quite
usable and it'll continue to improve. for the average xmlvm user it
shouldn't
be necessary to even look at the source.


you make it sound like i suggested  you give out software under the wtfpl,
all i was saying is that one small portion of xmlvm better be excluded from
the (l)gpl
(the template files and compat libs) to circumvent some weird
practicalities.




either way, it seems that using lgpl was a decission not a discussion. in
that sense
good luck ...






best, hansi.
