If ever C++-xref becomes free-as-freedom I would be glad to promote it to Debian

Yaroslav,

thanks for your interest in Xrefactory. The version 1.6.10 of Xrefactory is
distributed free of charge. However it works only with C (and very partially
Java) language. However, I think it may still be very useful to C developers. 
I plan to rename it to 'c-xrefactory' and release it as a separate
product. I am ready to release it under any license needed for Linux 
distributions, including GPL. I am also ready to provide you with any help, 
including writting installation/uninstallation scripts if there is a real
possibility to include xref into a standard Debian distribution.

I would be glad to hear your opinion on this idea.


With best regards,

Marian
