It would be *possible* to write an almost-entirely-closed-source plugin for Evolution, using the CORBA interfaces and such. But you would have to do a huge amount of work since almost all of the utility libraries inside the evolution source tree (libpas, libpcs, libebook, libeutil, libeshell, etc) are GPL, not LGPL. -- Dan _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
