But it's no free software. We HAVE to promote free software -- or else who
would do that job? ;-)
No kidding. Free is important. We now have many other good stuff -- and I
know what I'm talking about, as a long-run xv user..
We have to at least move it to the contribs (I say at least because it
falls into the commercial app category (as being a shareware) so it must
go theorically in the commercial CD's).
