Not sure that's blowing them off, exactly. We don't really have the rights to make any license arrangements BUT the GPL.
Actually we have, but only if we achieve the agreement of _all_ authors of the code, which is not realistic.
Well, by "we", I meant the current Inkscape developers, not all authors. I would be surprised if e.g. Lauris would be very cooperative.
Not that I would blame him in this case; if COMPUTERBILD want to distribute Inkscape, the GPL is good enough.
Probably this is new territory for them though; they're likely used to negotiating special licensing arrangements for packaging proprietary demos on their CDs, and their procedures are probably oriented towards that. Here, they may require a bit of hand-holding from us.
If I'm in the shops tomorrow I'll have a look to see if its there. Should be. Ill see whats on this months CD and if its an OSS project, maybe you can ask those devs for what they did.
