Executive summary:

   Yes Qexo was dubbed GNU software by RMS on May 3rd. 2002

   new-gnu: please DTRT with qexo.



Details of the investigation:

This kind of questions can be better answered by <address@hidden>,
but I will try to do my best.


fencepost$ grep -i qexo /gd/gnuorg/maintainers
[ Nothing ]

So this would mean that it is NOT a GNU package, but let's do some
more research:

$ grep -i qexo /com/archive/new-gnu  
Subject: Qexo
I hereby dub qexo a GNU package.
new-gnu people, could you please enter qexo in gnuorg/maintainers,
Subject: Qexo
I hereby dub qexo a GNU package.
new-gnu people, could you please enter qexo in gnuorg/maintainers,
Subject: Qexo
I hereby dub qexo a GNU package.
new-gnu people, could you please enter qexo in gnuorg/maintainers,



Ah!, at least there is something there, digging the message from the
archive, I found that it was sent by RMS on: Fri, 3 May 2002 12:25:52
- -0600 (MDT)

So, I guess the new-gnu people hasn't had the chance to update
maintainers, but Qexo is in fact a GNU package as of that date.

Doing some more research, I didn't receive that message (I receive
messages sent to new-gnu), so I guess that maybe the new-gnu people
didn't receive it either (I am copying them here).  Another
interesting fact is that there are three copies of the message in the
archive!

Mail system problems??
