That's only partly true. SuSE is still free to bundle Mosfet's styles (and anything else they see fit) with their RPMs. I don't think we humble end users will notice a difference Regards Anders On Monday 18 June 2001 16:26, Nash Hoogwater wrote:
Hi all,
I'm subscribed to the kde-devel mailinglist and there is a rumble going on because Mosfet has removed all his "non-important" styles from the cvs-tree. He is pissed off about something. People from KDE are trying to pursuede him in putting them back, but so far no luck. So if things won't go well we will not see Liquid in KDE and maybe not even most of the other cool styles in there from mosfet. I myself hope mosfet will change his mind.
Hope I didn't scare people :-).

Anyone know more about this style thing, Im hoping it becomes a standard part of kde because the effect is so nice.
There's been some debate on the KDE development list about the legal issues. Everyone likes it, but as KDE have already been the subject of interest of Apple's legal pack dogs, they are rather keen not to step on any toes. Anything other than another cease and desist letter could mean serious trouble. Mosfet is pushing hard to get the style into KDE-2.2.0, but whether he will succeed is a question yet to be answered.
