Hi all,

It seems that OOo 2.x uses agg ( 2.3 BSD license if I am not mistaken )

I've just checked "Building OpenOffice.org 2.x (680er/300er series)
under Linux"[1]
and found that OOo 2.x uses gpc[2], whose license i non-commercial.

the header of the
fileDEV300_m29//solver/300/unxlngi6.pro/inc/agg2/agg_conv_gpc.h
states:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// General Polygon Clipper based on the GPC library by Alan Murta
// Union, Intersection, XOR, A-B, B-A
// Contact the author if you intend to use it in commercial applications!
// http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/aig/staff/alan/software/
// Alan Murta (email: [EMAIL PROTECTED])
//
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

agg_conv_gpc.h doesn't use GPC's source code but it claimed to be
*BASED* on GPC's algorithm.
Can anyone double check that it is OK to use this code in OOo?

FYI, there is a thread on agg's mailing list regarding GPC and the
future of agg[3]
# agg developement is stalled for 2 years.
