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 their side, as well as what I read from your side, you have a communication issue, and neither side is unwilling to cooperate. However, we are looking at a fork of a GPL licensed project. That means that from a common codebase, two different projects do not necessarily have to go into the same direction. Sometimes that is sad, sometimes that is a huge opportunity. In my experience communication issues are rarely solved in a public debate. I wish Wikimedia Switzerland as well as Linterweb the best of luck in providing the best possible offline Wikipedia experience. Cheers!

[..] As well as I have, because I am being addressed regularly by Linterweb as they still try to get code and support, but never really get into the project by telling us what they really want and how we could integrate that into openZIM. We had a Wikipedia Offline meeting in Buenos Aires and someone named Linterweb. Surprisingly for me they are also quite wellknown to the foundation and more surprisingly they have quite similar views as we have. I would love to see them using ZIM in Okawix, even if it would require some changes if they feel we had to make it more usable for them (even though I see currently no reason why it was not perfectly usable right now).
