church secretaries! understatement of the week.
i should get in the habit of compiling from source, but computer
users who do compile from source a rare minority of a minority.
Where does Apple hold these patents?
To what extent can we turn this on and then have a HUGE DISCLAIMER that
Americans and others with crazy patent laws may not use it. According
to FreeType.org some distributions turn it on by default.
Anyone care to ask apple for a license iplaw@apple.com ?
Apple dont seem to be pursuing this very aggessively.
It might be a problem for anyone wishing to commerially distribute Abiword
but is anyone considered to be commercially distributing Abiword at the
moment (i dont inlcuding it in a distributions counts, but im no expert).
