Well, this part is something I don't agree with. OK, it's not very 
likely, but

I agree with the rest of the post, though. Having to comply with GPL is 
not a good argument to support including SimplyHTML sources - at least 
if I understand GPL correctly.

There may be other arguments that support it:

1. ease of getting correct versions of all necessary sources for the 
release X of FreeMind

2. what if authors of SimplyHTML stop accepting contributions from 
FreeMind team

However, those arguments support the view of "we might include" as 
opposed to "we must include, it's the law".

I'm not sure about JRE - I don't know if it's already GPLed or not, but 
even if it is, it's double-licensed, and the "old" Java license allows 
for binary-only distribution.

Another difference is that FreeMind+SimplyHTML would be easier to 
restore in this case - just take any developer's sandbox and put the 
sources online. You can't do the same thing with Debian.
