The XOrg_Foundation list is also open. You can subscribe at:http://www.x.org/XOrg_Foundation_Join_OpenLists.html Leon That is most gracious that you invite everyone. But as a friend of David's, (and I do not hide that fact that I knew him long long ago in the early days of this project, and I was pleased to meet him when he came to the Bay Area a few years back and have regained contact with him) I object that your note stated David knew of this. I have checked with my friend and with your list. David is not subscribed and he has no recollection of this note between you. I am sure as an important man you make mistakes too, and that's why keeping everyone in the loop is imperative so mistakes can be fixed immediately. I am sure you see the logic to this. I also think that many many important discussions are happening on your list. Lately this one of how VNC is linking against a non-GPL library is of the utmost concern to all of us who are or were in the open-source community. I think Mr. Robinson and Mr. Packard are speaking with authority on this subject and this authority should be something we can all learn from. What does happen when such a violation happens? What do we do? These are questions I have. I am sure others have the same. I think many of Mr. Robinson's missives to be of great import. I think it only right and just that when he or anyone else of your list refer to David and technical issues that pertain to XFREE86 that they be cc:'d. You do not have to be a subscriber, I was not originally when I sent all my bad email, just a lurker thru the archives, but I joined when several good men sent me messages that I was failing in trying to keep everyone in communicado and I wanted to get these bad email firsthand. I humbly request that these important, and I think very important, technical discussions not be amongst some wise men but all wise men and particularly with XFREE86 since it is their technical base with which you are discussing.
