Hi Manuel,
False accusations and the expression of willingness to cooperate usually do
not go well together, so thank you for setting it right as soon as possible
on this mailing list. Okawix is not violating GPL.
I had a chat with one of their developers yesterday, and from what I hear
from thei
Hoi Gerard,
it is indeed a huge improvement that finally the source code was made
available. This has not yet came to my sight. So GPL violation does not count
here.
Anyway, it took a long time to actually become free. When we were trying to
work with Linterweb it took us months to get some pa

You can, you just have to write an entirely new database every time.
This will already have to be done every time the messages change.

Hoi,
I referred to a place where the code can be found. The code states that it
is GPL code. So what are you saying... That it is not ???
Thanks,

Well, that is stating the obvious. The question is: what makes Okawix

Hoi,
Why do you say that it is proprietary and why do you state that there is a
GPL violation ? Making accusations like this without providing evidence is
not what I expect.
When you look at their website you find that the code can be found here ...

ZIM, but they changed it to be incompatible with Zeno and ZIM.
So Okawix can be regarded to be as proprietary as well as also a GPL
violation.

Hi Chengbin,
ZIM is an upcoming standard for using HTML contents offline. It is derived
from the Zeno file format used on the german Wikipedia DVDs since 2006 (ZIM =
Zeno IMproved).
There are currently several reader applications for it, for instance the
zimreader made by the openZIM project o
