HI Sergio, well it might not be open source but is 'free just as in the acronym FOSS = Free and Open Source Software (as for example the OSGEO flagship conference FOSS4G), so while open is certainly more desirable 'only' free as I see it is also part of FOSS. That is just to say one potentially should not prevent someone presenting on that software based only because it is free but not open source - at least I think so because it could still be useful for users out there Just my 2 cents Cheers Karsten

Thank you Karsten. The question was because we are receiving proposals for a congress that we are organizing and we ask -if possible- to use open source software.

Hi Sergio, while it appears to be free to me it see,s not to be open source because in that case one would be be to find the source code (and I could not). Also note that this tool might be kind of outdated (seems to use an old version of extjs as a JS library as user GUI) so be ware that it might be a bit outdated.
