> Proprietary applications *can* use Zeitgeist (be it over D-Bus, the

> *sigh*- and modify them to work in their proprietary application).

> If we switch to LGPLv2.1+ nothing of the above changes, the only

> As it stands we have full consent from Seif Lotfy and Mikkel Kamstrup.

> Of the core contributors Markus Korn has not answered yet.

> If Markus agrees the next logical step is to create a list of other
