But, I don't see KDE and GNOME apps as being third party applications. For lack of a better term, it would seem that apps that are built with a desktop toolkit are second party apps. I was reading the spec as I would read a legal document. I figured that if apps that ship with KDE can be considered third party apps that there was no reason to use the term in the spec since the only useful usage would be do differentiate third party apps from other types of apps. So, at least in the context of the spec, I can't see KDE apps being third party applications. Forgot to mention, I agree with what you said about the other questions and yes we need to look to finding a better solution. -- JRT ______________________________________________________________________________ kde-artists@kde.org | https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-artists
