Hmm. GPL-2 for packaging is ok if upstream code is GPL-2+. Muddy waters, though, as it is questionable whether you "use" python-xlib's packaging in hamster-applet, respectively if their packaging license conflicts with hamster' GPL-3+. I would say it doesn't. After all, hamster's packaging is not based on python-xlib's. > The other option is the g-p-m dbus API, but I seem to recall that it > doesn't /quite/ have what hamster-applet needs.

It may be worth mentioning in the bugzilla#547117 the python-xlib alternative. Thank you for your work so far! -- dam JabberID: dam@jabber.minus273.org
