If that's the case many of the original apps written for KDE could go into main. The licensing problems are with kdebase which contains some GPL'ed programs for which KDE didn't get authorization to combine with QT. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
KDE (was Re: alternatives to gnotepad+)
Also what about kedit part of KDE. It opens more than one file simultaneously. BTW, are there .debs for KDE in Debian? I tried GNOME, but it wasn't really my kind of desktop, and KDE looks good. Thanks, Jonathan Nieder __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Yep, take a look at: http://kde.tdyc.com Unless I'm mistaken, KDE2 will be included in Debian's site because of all the licensing changes, but for noe kde.tdyc.com is where you can get KDE1 from. -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 GigaBee Interactive http://www.gigabee.com PayPal - Securely send money to an e-mail user! https://secure.paypal.com/refer/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
