Hi Maarten, Barry, Bruno and of course Michael, > Why is it important to have it open source?
While I have not read this code either, nor contributed to it, I generally appreciate a possibility to read it. In that sense, it is a pity that code currently is not open. I am sure there would be licenses which suit the interests of the author, the users and people who are interested in the source code :-) I wonder how large the differences between the last open source version and the current version are and what the reasons for the license change were. In the past, even the best software has encountered the situation that maintainers lost time or interest to keep tending to the software. In such situations, open source allows others to pick up maintenance, be it for smallish patches or be it for completely new extended features :-) Regards, Eric >> ...
