X-Windows: Flawed beyond belief.

Tomas Rokicki posted some good ideas about test suites and PS preprocessors.
But I'd just like to point out that Adobe doesn't really need to have anything
to do with this.  I mean, if someone were to write the code you mentioned and
make it public domain, it would get distributed, and used.  I think the
problems are more rooted in ignorance than in lack of legislation.  (That
applies to a lot of things, doesn't it? :-))
