I like it as long as it works. Kupu does not work. The issues has been there for a long time, but no one has paid attention to it. I like the Yahoo Email html editor.

Ah, I hadn't realized that LGPL was an issue with Apache stuff. I was
wondering why such an outdated version of Kupu was being used, as just
upgrading to 1.3.3 probably would have fixed many problems. TinyMCE and
FCKeditor both are LGPL (with commercial options) which according to
what you say makes them unsuitable for integration into Tomahawk.
A working HTML editor is a requirement for the project I am working on,
so if Kupu isn't going to be fixed in Tomahawk due to licensing issues I
need to move forward. I see two options. Work to replace Kupu support
in Tomahawk with something more acceptable , or create a project to
create a custom tag outside of the Apache group. I guess my preference
would be to keep it as part of the Tomahawk project.
Would anybody have a problem with me trying to integrate the dojo editor
as a replacement for Kupu? It's got a nice BSD/AFL2.1 license that
should work OK with the Apache license, and appears to have wide
platform support. I like its simplicity as well.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
