But even as a "permanently free" product, it's distributed as a bunch of Perl modules -- to C++ coder, there's a HUGE difference between that and "Static link this lib and pass it a filename." I've been through the same choices myself, and, yes, I have chosen commercial modules over free ones written in/for other languages and for different audiences. > A development effort is a development effort.

Well, I don't think you've proven that. CommTouch is made to be integrated into commercial apps. I don't think it's an if-then situation at all. > But maybe you know more about Declude's development staff and their > capabilities than I do, so I'll admit that I could be wrong... I know what Declude's done in the past, plus the difficulty of converting between languages, dealing with dubious open-and-closed-source-in-the-same-product distribution scenarios... that they went with this very "positioned" product doesn't surprise me at all. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
