[ILUG] IBM to integrate ViaVoice into KDE

[ILUG] IBM to integrate ViaVoice into KDE

Happy days:

(and yes, I did nick that from slashdot)
What prompted me to write this email tho was one of the comments at the
bottom of that page. There were concerns about ViaVoice being commerical
and having all those lovely liscensing issues again. In response to this
one individual had the following to say:

"Yes, exactly. All of the KDE developers have unanimously decided to
distribute KDE only in binary form from now on, so that ViaVoice can be
integrated into KDE. Some people raised concerns about this issue, but
were quickly convinced by the clear advantages that a speech-driven
desktop would bring them.

The Gnome Foundation immediately reacted to this revolutionary improvement
by also closing all of their sources to be able to add AOL's Instant
Messenger to their distribution.

bah!"
