Here, 'formal support' means merging changes made by Ruurd to get LyX to compile with the half-baked compiler (Borland) that was used to compile the qt/win32 library provided by Trolltech. Hypocritical or not, that is never going to happen for reasons other than licencing religion.
i wasn't referring to the support issue. just to motivation the lack of support by the "spirit of open source" which isn't reflected by the exception that lyx makes for xforms. this i find hypocritical.
Why not simply:
"In addition, Ruurd Reitsma has created a native port of LyX on Win32
using the binary Qt/Win32 2.3.0 library. We have chosen not to provide formal support for Ruurd's port."
...and if you're serious about "the spirit of OS", well then change the license...
