Hmm? Your comment heads up bug #158529; VCG is a package in main, that has deliberately obfuscated code. It seems that James Michael DuPont and the Free Software Foundation has managed to get the source, and are releasing it as a GNU project. VCG is apparently an alternative to graphviz, that they plan to link into every GNU program, because actually outputting files, so that you could run them through other programs is bad; someone, somewhere, might actually use that data in a non-approved way. They might forget to put a license on their perl script, say. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Falshe fridn iz beser vi a rikhtige krig. / A bad peace is better than a good war. - Yiddish Proverb
