Hehe, I know what an open source project is because I use Linux and GNU utils since more than ten years. ;-) What I try to adept is the following: - When I take plenty of my free time and get trouble with my wife and my children, than I won't write (open) code for the trash. - I think it would make lots of fun for me to write something like an radio/atc addon for FlightGear - but only if this work will not end up in /dev/null. - If there are plans for connecting FlightGear to VATSIM or integrate VATSIM into FlightGear, I need to know this (see above). All I want wo avoid is to write code for something that will never be used because there are plans for connecting to other well known available services - if they are open source or not. And what I also wrote in further email: Maybe there is much interest in third party software for FlightGear that implements the NDA-Code... why not? For my personal sight of the things it might be simpler to include VATSIM via a gateway and use lots of already written software for ATC. But it seems that that this is more a political problem than a technical. That's not a problem for me but I wan't to know what I should do.
