The problem is in Pango actually. "Pango has no problem using it" as in no one ever complained about, except recently in Fedora lists. The complaint is that Pango is not LGPLed, because it uses code that is GPL +FTL. Nothing serious. I thought I ask for a relicensing, but if that's not possible, I'll just make it clear in Pango's license that it's not LGPL. > Regards, > > - David -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
