Yes, it  is modified. I  have dropped swf  file from tinymce  because we
don't know its license (and there is no source for it). Unfortunately, I
just  did the  same thing  for 0.6  (which does  not ship  the  SWF file
anymore but a new one instead,  without source too). In fact, in git, we
should have created a branch "dfsg".

BTW, could you test  roundcube 0.6 that I just pushed to  git? I was not
able  to test  it since  my test  installation is  broken. I  will retry
tomorrow but if you can test an upgrade, that would be wonderful.
