[Gimp-developer] Re: Quesitons about support for Djvu format and Color selection
Well, this palette was a bit bigger and the name appeared inside the colour (faster, I guess). But nothing too radical, I guess people ignore the dialogs too much. GSR Yep, my fault. Sorry :-) When coders see the word patent near something, they can get very nervous, even if it says that they grant it. Ask the company, maybe they want to create and maintain it, as PR. So the only way it would be usable in the gimp is something like a plugin to read and export to that format? Not as part of the main program? __ Do You Yahoo!?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2001-07-16 at 1210.16 -0700): So the only way it would be usable in the gimp is something like a plugin to read and export to that format? Not as part of the main program? Loaders / savers in main program are plugins. The thing is that nobody has stepped forward and said he will do it. You have to find one to do it, and to maintain it.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2001-07-15 at 2036.12 +0200): idea for a gimp color selection dialog. They we call it Palette dialog and it has been around for years. Well, this palette was a bit bigger and the name appeared inside the colour (faster, I guess). But nothing too radical, I guess people ignore the dialogs too much.

It was originally developed by ATT and then sold to these guys. If this site is correct, they have released some fairly interesting software under GPL, including the complete decoder and some more basic encoding abilities for the djvu format. Would this be useful to add to the gimp? Has anyone looked into this before? When coders see the word patent near something, they can get very nervous, even if it says that they grant it. Ask the company, maybe they want to create and maintain it, as PR. BTW, they are messing GPL and Open Source. Hohoho, if FSF people reads the page. GSR A quick skim of the webpage seems to indicate the know what the GPL is. The only thing I can see that's interesting is what happens if they use the GPL'ed code in their commercial products? Given the nature of the GPL, surely that means they'd have to distribute source of the other products too? They certainly would have to if they ever accept contributions from the outside world under the GPL, I believe.
