I think it was related to this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/01/msg00000.html But now...: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses => the vim >= 6.1 licence is said to be GPL-compatible :-) => so I think we should add it to the package: I just committed it in git as tools/gtypist.vim. What remains to be done is to mention this in the manual, as suggested by Dmitry (I will do this tomorrow or Sunday). If necessary, we can make a 2.9.1 release (@Tim: what do you think?). @Tim: could you help test gtypist.vim? On my system, autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.typ setf gtypist must come before "syntax on" - I've changed the note in gtypist.vim accordingly.
