Hello Dimitry,

thank you for that interesting reference.

Above all, the exception as described in the referred FAQ could easily be
understood as covering our linking to Swing; now Swing is not a part of the
operating system per se, but it is still a part of the runtime environment
upon which the JAR executable depends. Also, Swing is a part of the standard
JRE, not a standalone library distributed with FreeMind.

Regarding linking to Apache-licensed libraries, what is your consideration?
What procedure would you recommend and why?

Best regards,
Dan
