Doesn't matter, we ship GTK dlls, we're responsible for providing those sources. That's why the emphasis on "unless you distribute...". If we didn't ship the GTK dlls, we wouldn't have to distribute the sources[1]. But, we *do* ship the GTK dlls, so we *do* have to distribute the sources[2]. [1] because they're part of the development kit and/or OS, in a way. [2] because of the "unless you include it" exception. Note that [1] is the ambiguous part, due to the word "common" in the GPL, but [2] is not ambiguous at all. > > If we forced people to install MinGW to get the GTK > > dlls, we would not need to distribute the GTK sources. > > I don't follow, GTK dll's are not part of MinGW. ... or somehow install GTK dlls on their own, then ;-) > Give it a try again, as I think Ceasar fixed several issues, that I > reported to him when I had trouble getting it going. Yup. *time* is my other enemy :-P _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
