Re: [Bug-gnupedia]External Links in New Window

Hi, Tom,
We weren't trying to justify including External Links as long as they were in a separate window. If External Links were OK'ed I was talking about giving the UI the option of opening them in a separate window or not.

Thanks,
Dan Geiser <address@hidden>

Linking to material external to GNE is never going to
work because of potential violations to the GNU
policy. Regardless of whether or not its a new window
etc it will still make GNE non-free, linking to
material that isnt' free.
