Re: [gcmd-dev] License of GC

Great, thanks! Should have checked the public version as well then... I've
never developed for a GNOME app before, so there my confusion about the

windows (before I became a physics student and went to Linux), but I'm
starting again and now I want a serious project. I'll check the todo list
right away...
