6 GPL'ed Packages that depend on XForms.

1999-06-01 Thread Peter S Galbraith
Hello fellow Debian developers, As you may know, the GPL is not compatible with XForms and packages that depend on XForms need to use another license or contain some sort of exception clause. There are 12 packages in potato that depend on XForms, and 6 of them use the plain GPL without such an e

My current take: legal.txt requires that all files in manifest.txt be included in the distribution (in debian terms: not necessarily in the same package but on the same media, with an exception for floppies). If we're not doing that then we shouldn't be distributting LPPL'd code. > Now, let's ha
