Well, since Netscape is the Initial Developer and the Mozilla Foundation seems to act in this role, I was hoping that there would be a way to relicense the files in question. (http://lxr.mozilla.org/classic/source/cmd/xfe/Microline3.0/XmL/) Who could make that decision? >You'd have to do some research on what happened and why they thought >that. Things might then be clearer. Well, I did already what research I could think of. Thanks for you help! Thorsten -- The goal is to keep the bewildered herd bewildered.
