How about:

[=LyX=] and [=Qt/WinFree=] are both licenced under the terms of the [=GNU 
General Public Licence=] ([=GPL=]), version 2 or later. The sources of each 
can be downloaded from their respective [=CVS=] repositories. Instructions 
on how to do so can be found:
* [[http://www.devel.lyx.org/cvs.php3 Here]] for [=LyX=] and
* [[http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3-win32/compile-mingw.php Here]] 
for [=Qt/WinFree=]

Sure, I understand. Many thanks for the heads up.
