X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01d) I am also not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be sued by anyone so I don't care too much for licenses. I believe that a qt port of abiword is within the 'spirit' of the gnu license. andrew wansink > AbiWord is distributed under the GNU General Public Licence. > The GPL says that any code it covers must not be linked a aginst any other > code under a more restricitive licence.
