Probably closed source though.

As a follow up to my earlier post. I asked about the licence since I know that that is an important issue for many of you folks out there. And it is open source apparently. This is the response I got:

One more thing: What is the license? Is it some kind of open source or is it free, but closed source?

It is open source (GPL), but distribution is by request. The source is not in the best of shape, so we try to coordinate who is working on it. The source will not be of value to the casual observer. Serious developers who want to cooperate should contact me. The source is in a subversion repository and any work on the GUI has to be done in Netbeans for the simple reason that not using the latter will tend to break things. Thanks.

I once tried Impro-Visor, but it didn't started on my debian box... But it's definitely looking like a good and useful program, so it would be great if some guys can pick *thinks* up and make this a real nice open source app! Dirk _______________________________________________

As it is now, it will run perfectly as long as you run it from the home folder and have sun's java installed. I have filed a bug about the home folder thing. It is a pita not to be able to run it from a seperate flder since I hate clutter.... Ketil

Ok, thanks, I will try it again.... although I also hate those subscribe at yahoo things.... Dirk
