I really would like to admit your sentences.
But - on their website I can't see any reference, hint or link to Project
FlightGear.
But I see that he earns money with our work. I do know that this allowed under
or licence. But is this moral?
I do understand that he sells this without any offical reference to FlightGear-
if he woulden't no one would buy it beacuse it is donwloadble for free for
anyone.
I can see other big OpenSource Projects like Blender, which have have this kind
of support- without beeing sold.
If really both sides wants to win, then we should make a derivative work of
FGFS like a FAA-licenced, one which is beeing sold then. That would really help
this project to gain some more respect and even a lot of more seriousness to
our project. Even now, as Microsoft ESP is stopped and Aerososft is coming with
a replacement 2012.
Just my thoughts, correct me If I'm wrong with some facts.
