OK, I have to correct this statement, now that I found an original xforms license, which says: Forms Library is not public domain. It is copyright (©) by T.C. Zhao and Mark Overmars, with all published and unpublished rights reserved. However, permission to use for non-commercial and not-for-profit purposes is granted. You may not use xforms commercially (including in-house and contract/consulting use) without contacting ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for a license arrangement. Use of xforms for the sole purpose of running a publically available free software that requires it is not considered a commercial use. However, I know that the intent of the license was just to avoid abuse, while Trolltech has a market share to defend. JMarc
