[Xerte] Re: What version of desktop is publicly available?

Fri Aug 31 11:15:45 BST 2012

I appreciate the dilemma you find yourself in.

My take  on this (for what its worth)

Licences

 If people are going to start downloading Xerte 2.18 once the word gets out
it may be important to have any licences that have been used in Xerte
correctly recognised.

Recognition

Always a dilemma. Perhaps one that could be discussed briefly at the
forthcoming Xerte meeting just to ensure that no one feels hard done by.
But not a legal issue and resolvable at a later date. Initially a generic
"Thanks to everyone in the Xerte community who have contributed to this
release" could plug the gap in the interim.

If anyone objects you can always blame me :-)

Kind regards

Johnathan
