hm? of course we only can use code from other apps which are licensed
under gpl/lgpl. since the jscalendar uses none of these licneses its a
nonfree app and we can't use it until they changed their header info.

ralf should have talked about the additions he wanted to add... and not
just do what some company is going to pay him for...
there are some more developers with ideas how to handle js, so it needs
some discussion.

if the code is not licensed under the gpl/lgpl or whatever os license it
is nonfree code. as long as they did not change their header info we cant
use it since its not the lgpl ok :)

we have to check the license before importing others code. atm we
can not keep that jscal code in our cvs tree because its nonfree. we were
talking with nb - nb is the founder of the dotgnu project - about the
license of jscalendar and he found out the license break in the header
info. as a gnu package and a part of dotgnu we can not use that code from
jscalendar until they changed the license info.

we have some agreements about the way we should work together as a team.
one of the most important rule for a teamwork is: talk about something,
_before_ adding it to our cvs tree, discuss it with the other developers.
