Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

This is really damn cool. It just comes too late for me. I have adapted to shared tmux sessions -- that allow me to work with shiver the dirty emacs users.

Do you mean via wemux? https://github.com/zolrath/wemux

No, vanilla tmux does it.

So it's like Floobits but for only one editor? https://floobits.com/

So Floobits is like this but it's somehow associated with a startup and doesn't have first-class support for vim?

Does "first-class" mean it has to be the only one that gets all features and imply all other editors are second-class?
