Well Isaac, yes and no. My intent and recomendation is that all services be both open source and free, but the system is flexible enough to allow for commercial components as well. The authors of commercial components would be required to provide all information and support for the components, include how they work with COAL, and would not be included with the COAL download. It is not my intent to make money off of COAL, not at all. It is my intent to provide an efficient and reliable library of common components for all coldfusion developers to use freely. But there will never be a retail component to the COAL project itself. -- Ryan Guill BlueEyesDevelopment [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ryanguill.com (270) 217.2399 The Coldfusion Open Application Library - COAL - http://coal.ryanguill.com www.ryanguill.com/ The Roman Empire: www.ryanguill.com/blog/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
