In GNU/Linux *all* of XFree86 is linked with LGPL libraries. THe libc and libm ones, namely. What is the problem with also linking with the FriBidi library in the same way ? If it can be done with a given LGPL library it sure can be done with others. The only thing that the LGPL imposes is that you be able to change/update the LGPL library, which can be achieved by either providing a dynamically linked binary, or object files to relink into a non dynamic binary. But XFree86 does best: it gives the sources. So, there is absolutely no problem at all to use as many LGPL code as you want, as long as it is well separated and as long as XFree86 is distributed in source code. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975 _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
