It would be nice to have a OSS software for vector graphics on Linux. We should push the vector graphics developers into gear. | I have a Freehand license (Dreamweaver MX Studio).

I am glad that you have said that you have a license for your proprietary software. We need to enforce that if people use Adobe, Macromedia etc then they must have legal copies of the software. I personally do not want to work with people that are using illegal software. That would not effect the person using the software illegally but us as well, the Fedora project and Red hat itself. We do not want to get sued. | Icons I usually do the hard way pixel by pixel in Gimp. That sounds like a good way to do it. Anyone else have a way that they make icons? What about that list of applications that need icons now ;) - -- Jonathan C. Sitte <jcsitte(a)staticnull.org&gt;

Legitmate is the only answer ;). We must use what we must. I know what you are talking about though. I will be happy when either some genius makes vector graphics a reality on Linux as OSS software or proprietory Adobe either opens their source or makes a Linux Version. On the meantime it is up to us to stuggle. I force myself to use OSS only because I am not in the situation where I can afford Adobe or Macromedia software. | I have the whole hog Dreamweaver MX Studio. I have to have it because it | is what my clients use. Heh. Someone needs to make an offer Macromedia can't refuse to port it to Linux. Then you can get rid of this VMWARE stuff.
