[edit] Useless cross-reference
"See also: Ubuntu". Eh? ncurses has nothing to do with Ubuntu beyond being one of its components, in the same way as it's a component of hundreds of other GNU/Linux distributions. (I'm an Ubuntu developer.) I'll revert this if it isn't explained. --Colin Watson 23:58, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Reverted, let me know if I'm insane. :-) --Colin Watson 11:22, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- I'm not a qualified mental health practitioner, so of course I can't answer that question, but you're quite correct on this point ;-) --David Gerard 08:58, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Capitalization?
Does anyone know what the proper capitalization is for ncurses/Ncurses? When I first saw this page, the all lower-case seemed more probable and UNIX-ish, but the official page isn't consistent. Really a trivial issue, was just curious. --A brisson 18:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- I think it is pretty much agreed in most areas that ncurses is the correct capitalization. I think I saw nCurses once, but that was only once. ^^;;

[edit] Why a permissive licence?
Does have a link which explains why ncurses was released under a permissive licence insead of the GPL or LGPL? I can take a good guess, but getting it from Stallman would be better. Anyone? Gronky 07:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] system bias
wasn't the first paragraph supposed to give a general iudea of the subject for users not familiar with the subject. cause I don't get a single word 354d 23:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
