I will suggest not applicatation (you will choose whatever you like), but format:
HTML I used to make presentation in PowerPoint, but after switching i have found the format nearly perfect. There might be some issues for printed versions, but hothing which can not be rather easily solved.
And guess what: you can present your work on any computer and any platform - no need to ask: do you have PowerPoint / WhateverPresenter installed? You can put the work on your server etc.
Proprietary application statically linked to an LGPL library on an embedded device? License problems. I do not think so - as long as you provide possibility to re-link proprietary (object) code to the (modified) library. Anyway he can always clarify that in "his" license that statical linking is OK. This is what FLTK guys do:-)

Sorry for my previous insult, but i was surprised by the high score of - in some places non-logical - comment. Anyway i am a moron too- i vote as well (although in a different country...) But I have a lot of smart friends who do not bother to wote ,
they are disgusted by recend politians and they say:
- I have nobody to vote
- what does mean 1/10000000 anyway? (I know: California and presidental election, but finaly the court said: the precision counding does not matter, only the procedure - which means your oppinion does not matter, only the technocracy)
- maybe it is better to say politicians: i do not like any of you, so so why i have to vote somebody who I do not like?
And i understand them, even teling them to choose better trom bad than nothing
But even though I vote in every election, my own voice is cheapened and weakened by the huge numbers of people who don't....blabla
If fewer peopple wote, then YOUR voice is stronger. Simple calculus. Unfortunately you are right: those peopple do not vote, only morons like you - and this is the result. Election campaign is like TV commercial: No info, only brainwashing.
If I understand LGPL, it is possible to relicence it (== use the code in) GPL, but not the other way arround. So why not just to use MPL/LGPL and simplify the situation?
They were actualy very rigorous, I was there! (but they kick me out - I wanted to listen Sex Pisols)
Ant the results are very objective, they even did not tell them what they are listending to.
Results
system(bitrate)
1. WMA (25683756 GHz)
2. MP3Pro Enterprise (128 kHz)
3. Ogg (-666)
4. Raw CD (36x)
5. R.E.M (Unpluged)
They forgot to mention the loosers...
CmdrTaco:"Prior art reviews in the patent office are obviously not working."
And how to make them work? Fire the lazy officers!
Seriously: These guys patenting known or obvious technology try to steal the common (public domain) knowledge and make them "proprietary intellectual property". And patent office? Approves this robbery!
Proposition: Change the patent law in a way, that anybody (previous or potential user, state or any potential victim - so every consumer) can sue the bastards for invalid patent. If the "the prior art" is proven (published, commonly used or "obvious" technology of the patent) then apply the penalty corresponding to possible potential industry damages (and as most of/.-ers will agree some can have 8 or more zeros) and social danger (not less than some financial robbery).
In such a way make the patent applicant responsible for prior art research!!!
I would guess that:
1. number of patent applications will decrease at least by factor 1/10
2. you can fire 90% of patent officers as their job will not bee to investigate "prior art" (and they do not have a clue what is going on) but just to collect the pages and insert it to the database. You can save some budget money as a result.
3. The number of court cases will not increase as the number of patent application will be much lower
The institution of "patent office" originally had a purpose to stimulate the innovation (sorry for inflated word) and to protect "smaller and smarter" on the market. The real recent functionality is to allow "proprietarisation" of common knowledge of reach companies which can afford lawyers expenses and to prevent the competition.
There must be a cooperation between small companies, developers (and consumers) to push the politicians to make law changes...

So will new vim include a 2.2.4 kernel sources? (it needs an OS to run on ...)

...We *MUST* as a civilized people, eradicate this kind of barbarism, as quickly, and as efficiently, and as PERMANENTLY, as possible.
...And before you tell me I'm being overly emotionally, you're right. Anyone who doesn't react emotionally to this is less than human.
hmm, permanent solution , where did I hear it? Adolf?
Do you mean *only* emotionaly? So if somebody has a brain as well, he is not human any more? You are probably right, the recent world seems so....
So take weapons, kill next thousands of innocent, and wellcome in global Bosnia!
seriously, if you want to solve anything you have to make sure:
1. inevitability of the punishment
2. the precison you will find the correct suspect.
And if you will take with him thousands of innocent peopple, their relatives will have all rights to hunt you.
...The retaliation should be done in an over the top, large scale way. It should kill civilian targets.
...if they attempt anything like this, not only will they be killled, but also their families, friends, etc.
Who the fuck are you? The suckers like YOU did this.
Te test was blind. They were not told Who is Stravinsky and Who is Who....

There are a lot of innovative users in the Chicago...
Yes, very old. And I know who did it. I've just inspected the old Altair Basic code (it is only 4k) and I have found a string "llAuoYteGlliWI".
No, this is a point of confusion between U.S-ians and the rest of the world. Bilion appears in many languages and in all of them it is 10^12.
Is it typo, or are ueo trying to say something?
