Hello Dimitry,
the differences between Batik and SimplyHTML you are listing are irrelevant
to the question whether GNU GPL requires us to distribute the sources of
SimplyHTML as part of FreeMind source distribution. My point was that I have
seen no reference, quote or explanation showing that GNU GPL would require
us to do; I doubt that it does.
My argument was not about whether it is a good idea to include the source
code with FreeMind source distribution; I do not know that.
I conclude that if publishing of Source Code is required by GPL and we
do not use any release to refer to, the best solution is publishing of
SimplyHTML code as a part of FreeMind packages.
The SimplyHTML is IMO published by having its source code in public CVS. All
you have to do is to provide a tag.
Anyway, this discussion seems pointless to me; I am giving up. Let you and
Chris decide what you want to do; I find the decision to distribute the
source code of SimplyHTML as part of FreeMind source code superfluous and
difficult to understand.
Best regards,
Dan

I see following differences between Apache Batik and SimplyHTML
1. We do not develop Apache Batik, but do develop SimplyHTML.
2. We use some stable release of Apache Batik, but we do not have any
suitable release of SimplyHTML: it is still under development.
3. Apache Batik is not being developed especially to be used in
FreeMind, but SimplyHTML is maintained by me with this purpose. I
consider SimplyHTML as a part of my FreeMind activities. It's no more
than a side-effect of my engagement for FreeMind.
After we release 0.9.0 I shall produce a corresponding release of
SimplyHTML. But I do not see any sense of producing beta releases of
SimplyHTML before: this program does not have such numerous users.
I conclude that if publishing of Source Code is required by GPL and we
do not use any release to refer to, the best solution is publishing of
SimplyHTML code as a part of FreeMind packages.
Best regards, Dimitry
