font-family:Arial">Some nice news on the ghostscript front. Ghostscript used to have a staged release process where new releases where first released under the AFPL and only after a year under the GPL. This approach led to a fork by people who needed to get patches in the GPL version. It's great to see that this has been resolved.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN DEFANGED_style="font-size:10.0pt;
