Re: Gnome GPL question

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

If you look in gnome-libs-1.0.whatever.tar.gz, there is also a file
COPYING.LIB, which is the LGPL.  Also, if you look at the copyright
comments at the top of each source file in libgnome/libgnomeui, you
will see it is released under the LGPL.
