Apologies for the delay in reply as i had been travelling in India the last few weeks. I am now back spiritually recharged to take our mission to the next level :-)
I agree with Barend. For education is important that all software and tools that Geo4All endorse should be fully free and open. I have requested the Geo4All Advisory Board to discuss this and come forward with a guideline , so we can ensure that we have a clear policy of openness in education.
