(licence > (i don't know much about the problems related to licence) or something > else) no problems. in the long run this needs to be sorted out though - but you will need to knwo that effectively its GPL for now :( (btw - technically so is emotion due to the xine module. one day i need to split that all out when it matures - but no time atm). > Vincent > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
