A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Tuomas J. Lukka <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: lgpl
Other License: 
Package: Fenfire - a hyperstructured user interfa
System name: fenfire
Type: non-GNU

Description:
A collaboration and information structuring environment.
Focus+context views, ...

This is essentially the Gzz project (with the currently split
off parts removed), without the Ted Nelson\'s ZigZag structure.
Ted Nelson suddenly decided that he didn\'t want a free software
implementation of ZZ (after collaborating with us for a long while)
and is now saying he will use his patent against us.

Because of this, we\'re removing the ZZ structure from the program
and converting to something else (probably RDF) and also splitting
the project to several at the same time, to make sure at least some
parts are usable by others as well.



Other Software Required:
Java, LibVob, Storm

Other Comments:
Approved as Gzz, now the patent-covered stuff removed.
