putty is X/MIT, i think.. im not exactly sure. its here...
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/licence.html

there seem to be some sort of issue with putty's license, we cant include
FriBidi's code _in_ putty... i think it has to do with FriBidi's license, we 
cant
include it in putty...

and as far as i know, FriBidi's license cant be changed...
behdad pointed out that the STABLE code has no conflicts between
the authors on changing the license, while the HEAD cannot be changed...
im new here, so i dont know what HEAD and STABLE mean... :)

and as i said, we need to include FriBidi's code _in_ putty, not as an 
external
library, i.e not a DLL or SO... so putty.exe would contain FriBidi... and 
putty
would be just one file, which is what the author wants...

ak.
