Hi,

Sorry to come again about this subject :)

I have made a patch (file joined) that remove all GMGPL stuff in
the .ad[sb] files.

I have done so to have files in accordance with the package license and
avoiding so questions from people that can using the package in the
future (I hope they will be plenty since polyorb has many "fun"
features :) ).

There is still a little licensing problem in the documentation :
the file polyorb_ug.texi includes gfdl.texi
Do you think I can also patch this file in order to have full GPL
coherency ? (GFDL enable "invariant" sections and not GPL)
The documentation is one of the first source users will use to determine
license so...

Cordially, xavier
