Actually, I don't think it could possibly be, if only, for licences issues. In fact, Quebs people modified KDE and XFCE, and are redistributing those changes in their product/project, available for download to everyone. As per my understanding of GPL and of other OS licenses, this, in many cases, mean calls for the modified sources to be available, and, as a matter of fact, I think they are. *I think* that some of the work they've done on Windows is closed, but I'm quite sure their modifications to Xen, Linux, and to the various bits and pieces of X server, display managers and desktop environments are all public. I may be wrong, but I'd at least have a look, if I were you. :-) Regards, Dario --=20 <> (Raistlin Majere) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D, http://about.me/dario.faggioli Senior Software Engineer, Citrix Systems R&D Ltd., Cambridge (UK) --=-3qHVQb/bJfjZtPGYME7e Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEABECAAYFAlXIwyUACgkQk4XaBE3IOsTkBACfVv5PeF2jHk/YSbQgy4w+v9xb DTEAnjSwBX9tCg1vwBtZ4Wn8lbQGSvRh =6rVH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-3qHVQb/bJfjZtPGYME7e-- --===============5809306219723610696== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel --===============5809306219723610696==--
