Hi, Xara has now released the GPL'd "Xara LX" sources. I've not yet seen the news hit any of the known web sites; but their website and a posting into one of their public forums makes it official to me.
I assume the Inkscape folks on this list did already know in advance, but the rest of us are glad to learn about it now :-) Some more details are in my blog at http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1872 Oh, and those of you who want a really quick testdrive of Xara (without having to actually install pre-compiled Xara binaries into the heart of your $linux system), I've updated a klik://xara-latest recipe (should work on all major distros, and some of the more exotic ones too). More info on klik is here: FAQ: http://klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php/User%27s_FAQ Wiki: http://xara-latest.klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php/Wiki_page_for_xara_klik Xara is an interesting example, as they are one of the first Windows- only companies that is porting a hi-profile software to the Linux desktop environment *as* *well* *as* putting it under the GPL license at the same time. Cheers, Kurt
