Indeed, this is bad.
I checked the Kupu licence, but not the one of all included libraries :-(
Plus, Kupu is the only decent HTML Editor I found with a compatible licence.

A quick fix would be to add a sarissa path, or to ask the developers to include the lib on the page.

A better fix would be to find another editor, but the gest one I've found, FCK editor is also all GLP  :
http://www.fckeditor.net/license/default.html

About this licence problem, we could also talk with the guys of lenya ( http://lenya.apache.org ) as they also use Kupu, so I guess they have the same problem.

Hi Martin,

thanks for pointing this out - obviously Sylvain has looked at the
Kupu license directly, but not on the included libs closely enough.

Sylvain, what would you suggest? Do you have a remedy for this?

regards,

Martin
