Err, 2006 .... 1996? ... 2006 + 12 != 2009 :) Aside from that, looks good to me, especially in terms of not being libellous towards FPS, and clarifying the GPL right-to-charge-for-distribution issue. Several people from outside FG have referred to 'freeware' in the MSFS sense, and obviously have no clue about this whole 'open-source' thing. Mind you, you could make yourself very tired explaining that point in the flight-simming world :D James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
