Introducing CoVim – Collaborative Editing for Vim

Too bad it doesn't use the Infinote protocol just like Gobby [1] and Gedit. That way, everyone could use their own editor while working on the same document.

It's a bummer, but it isn't the CoVim authors' fault that the Gobby developers chose irrelevance. http://git.0x539.de/?p=infinote.git;a=blob;f=COPYING;h=b124c...

I don't understand. You've linked to a copy of the LGPLv2.1 in infininote's git repo. Are you saying that their choice of licence primarily caused their product to be less popular?

No, I'm saying that it precludes it from being an obvious choice for a standard, since implementing that type of protocol isn't simple and there are editor writers who don't want to integrate LGPL code.

Surely if it's LGPL you can just link against it, no?
