There is no intention of moving Scribus out of it's current licence,
though at the Linux Expo we did consider changing it to LGPL and there
were a number of interested parties wanting us to take it commercial. As
Franz is down as the main copyright holder of the source, if he wants to
change the licence he can. The fun comes if I don't want my stuff to
change (the material on my laptop reaches into just about every source
file for some serious optimisations!) - but that won't happen.

Nope, business. They have to protect their investment and can't have
some linux hackers reverse engineering something which must have taken
weeks to truely cack up ;-p
