Subject: Xrefactory violates Emacs license?
Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:29:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877iiiont9.fsf@jbms.ath.cx> (raw)
Hello,
I just became aware of this product:
http://www.xref-tech.com/xrefactory/main.html
It seems to consist of some external process written in C that
communicates over a file descriptor with a user interface written in
Emacs Lisp. The Emacs Lisp user interface is not merely some additional
interface to an existing program; rather, it is the only interface to
the program, and the program was designed specifically for this Emacs
interface.
The product is sold under a proprietary license and the (non-elisp)
source code is not provided. I apologize if the FSF is already aware of
this product. If not, I figured I'd send a message to the list, since
it seems that this product may potentially constitute a license
violation.
