Actually, that's not a completely accurate statement.  The Daemonites have 
released FarCry to the public under an open source license, true.  However, 
most of the work done to the FarCry core is paid for by their clients.  
Support, training, implementation, modification can all be obtained through 
Daemon.  It's like other commercial offerings this way, but I'd venture a guess 
that Daemon is more willing to help when it comes to system modification.

Now, will it meet your requirements the same way as CommonSpot?  Depends on 
your needs.  My understanding of CommonSpot is that it makes importing existing 
content easy (at least according the docs).  You can use a WYSIWIG editor to 
modify templates (again, from what I saw in the docs).  You can have a single 
authoring server and multiple front ends.  These are things that FarCry does 
not do (yet).

I'm curious about this myself.  I'll be meeting one of Dave Watt's team members 
in the near future for a CommonSpot install.  However, I'm only responsible for 
the machine it resides on.  I'll not be doing any development on it.
