Hi,
some people actually suggested to post it here. I hope the admins allow me to
post here for the duration of this thread. Thanks in advance.
I'm maintainer of the project Apollon, a KDE-giFT filesharing client.
Since Apollon is a KDE-application and KDE has a pretty reliable cvs-system,
we would be very happy, if you guys would allow apollon to be part of
kdeextragear.
In fall 2003 was already a discussion about that. I would like to re-enter in
that discussion, because the objections weren't really clear.
My points are:
- Apollon won't be a 'threat' for KDE. Only the client itself would be in the
cvs, not the actual p2p-daemon itself. Some were concerned about that.
- Apollon is not an "illegal" software. And KDE won't be in a "complicity".
- Even the authors of apollon are save and can't be sued. Because they are not
complices - the authors know nothing about that what the users do with it.
- a dutch judge came to the result, that kazaa is not illegal. His conviction
is of international importance.

(sorry, german webpage only)
- it's not the software which up- and downloads potentially copyrighted
material, it's the user.
Thanks for thinking about and considering it!
We would be more than happy to be part of kdeextragear!
Martin
