Ciao amici,

sorry for the late answer but, believe me or not, friday, just after posting my
last mail to the list, my linux box at home died miserably (HD failure)!!!!!
I'll take the occasion to switch from Mandrake 8.0 to the new 8.1, but before
that I;ve to find another disk and, perhaps, another MB.

Anyway: I checked carefully the license distributed within the API and it
explicitly say that to be entitled to use the library a user should be a
licensed Notes customer. That can be a problem but not so big (for instance: I'm
a licensed Notes customer but I prefer to use Linux with kmail instead, and,
here in Marconi I've lots of collegues that think the same way). The only real
problem is to find a way to distribute a restricted application (or module), I
think the idea proposed by Stefan is good.
It's possible to contact Lotus through the mailing list at www.notes.net
(directly mantained by Lotus).
I will be happy to do that by myself but: I'm not an official KDE
representative, my english is very bad (and in that case we need to be very
cautious) and I don't know very well the GPL terms.

In the meanwhile I'd like to start changing my code for use the kioslaves in
order to compile the Domino support as module. I'll prepare also some screenshot
and, eventually, a binary tarball so it will be possible to setup a short demo
if required.
Actually I'm using KDE 2.2, it's ok to extract only kmail from CVS and starting
implementing on it? Or, in order to compile, I've to rebuild the whole KDE
distribution (well, at least libs, support, base and network) from the tree?

Let's me know your opinions. . .

Saluti,

Larry
