Jamie Zawinski and I are a bit in a row about whether distributing
rss-glx in a fashion that its hacks can be directly used from
xscreensaver is OK, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90133
(Hint: please review ;-)
Jamie says that the licenses of xscreensaver (BSD with ad-clause) and
rss-glx (GPL) are incompatible (which they are) and therefore
distribution of rss-glx with xscreensaver in a way which lets the user
directly use rss-glx hacks from xscreensaver would be illegal (which I
doubt). I'd appreciate comments, especially if we should bother Legal
about it.
