Introducing Nvu, A Web-Authoring Application

An anonymous reader writes "MozillaZine is reporting that the first public beta of Nvu has been released. "What's that?", I hear you cry. Well, Nvu (pronounced 'N-View', short for 'New View') is a new open source WYSIWYG Web page creator/editor with FTP facilities that produces standards-compliant code. It is based on Mozilla Composer and is being developed by ex-Netscape employee Daniel Glazman's new company, Disruptive Innovations, under licence for Lindows.com. All the code for Nvu will be released back into the wild under the MPL/LGPL/GPL tri-licence. More information is available in the Nvu FAQ. Users of LindowsOS, other Linux distributions and Windows 98 and later can download Nvu 0.1 now." TheWanderingHermit writes points out that the feature list includes "(finally!) the ability to include and edit forms."

Re:My Letter to Nvu Regarding Source

[Twylite]

Let me translate your own letter for you:

Hi. Nice project, but I think you could be violating the GPL. I'm too rabidly Stallmanist to bother reading other licenses, and my statement is based entirely on hearsay anyway, but I'm making it your responsibility to address my problems.

By not even bothering to find out about the other licenses, or if the source code is really unavailable, you are showing complete disrespect for the time, effort and finance that has gone into this project.
