nanogui: Thread: W Window system?

Hi all,

I've just got the following reply from Tamminen Eero: 
"They've asked it and we're discussing it."

I hope for the "Open source community" that the conclussion
will be that GMate's W version will remain GPL.
It will save us all time and resource. We all know how the 
"Open source community" repsonded when the QT libraries used 
in KDE where not quite GPL.
But then, I suspect that if GMat's W is not quite GPL, this 
will be another boost to get Microwindows running on a YOPY.

Either way, the "Open source community" wins. :-)

cheers,
	Peter

Or MPL/LGPL if there are commercial app issues with YOPY. The author has
all the cards. I can't believe the YOPY folks got that far without asking
him first. The YOPY lawyers must be at the 'strangle developer' stage
