Hi all,

I would like to publish sources of the baby gnu and baby tux on the FSF 
site (image is in p.b.i) but I have a problem with Chris Colefax spline 
macro because I did not find what kind of license is attached. I tried 
to mail to him but got no news so far.

I use its macro for tongue and aisles of the baby tux and I would like 
to know what other (GPL) solutions may exist to make this kind of spline 
with blob ? (sources of the tux have been posted in p.t.s-f some time ago)

So far, one solution I found would be to make the spline macro print all 
objects it generates and include this output directly within sources but 
that would be quite fastidious to write I imagine.

Does anyone see another solution ? Or does anyone know the type of 
license attached to the spline macro file ?


Nicolas

I'm not sure, but with a little effort you could either write your own
spline-macro, or you could look and see if what you've got isn't possible
with the splines from POV-Ray. You could also use my spline-macros, if you
want to, I wouldn't mind. :-)

Regards,
Tim
