First, I'd like to thank all the folks working on getting us new parts and part
libraries. I'd also like to thank Ahui for all his work on the help desk and
the all in one installer.
If LPub and LSynth are open source via GPL, do you still need the written
permission from me to include them in the all in one installer?
I'd guess we have a race between the all-in-one and my release of LPub 4.0.
I'll always have the latest and greatest available on my website and ldraw.org,
but when is it too late to get it into the all-in-one. How often will this
install package be updated?
Kevin
