[Taken off-list] As an American, I must say that I am extremely ashamed of GWB's inability to listen to reason from respected leaders of other countries--as well as people in his own cabinet--as well as the countless numbers of people that have been, and still are, protesting this insane and irresponsible drive toward an unnecessary war.
That being said, I'm afraid that your protest, although being made for morally impeccable reasons, will be less effective then any of the other protests that have taken place in the last year or so, since it will have very little visibility to the general public, who don't know window managers from store managers. Your decision, if you decide to go through with it, will be very unfortunate for the future of FVWM, which is nearing its celebration of the anniversary of its birth, as it causes doubts about whether people will even be able to use the program. I am not a lawyer, and I will leave it to people with more experience working with the GPL to figure out how your currently stated decision(s) will affect future versions of FVWM. I have seen some of the responses to your message, and it seems that there may be some basic incompatibilities with the GPL and your desires. It is because of any possible damage to FVWM that I would urge you to possibly rechannel your protest to a means that would be more effective in the long run. Again, I must tell you that I truly understand how upset you are about my country's current actions in the Middle East. It is my hope that the war will be quick, and that as many people as possible emerge from it safely. I know that my hope is shared by many people around the world, including people within my own country. -- Larry Gensch [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nashua Languages and Tools Lab (NLTL) Hewlett-Packard Company, Nashua, NH -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
