Hmm... Rewind is an important part for companies who choose to not publish all of their source under the (L)GPL (but hopefully do publish smaller utilities not essential to their core business :-). As such it might be useful to keep the reference.
Hello Andi,
Many people release there code as X11/LGPL but the project at http://rewind.sourceforge.net/ is for the most part dead!
If the tree was kept upto date and X11 patches were merged in I could see why some would want to keep a reference to it, but its just not that way. So in reality all were doing by providing this reference is sending people to two year old code that is missing *many* X11 patches that have been sent to wine-patches.
(to such companies at least ;-) Are there any "GPL-unencumbered" (ugh, gotta hate that word ;) alternatives? I don't know of any, so...
Are there any upto date, maintained X11 projects? I don't know of any, so........
Cheers, Tom
Who feels his patch is correct.
Greetings,
