Actually this is incorrect. For an example of how dual-licensing of software can lead to better software for everyone follow this: http://www.winterspeak.com/columns/102901.html > People who discovered freeVSD through some kind of link were > always able to > download it and try it.

If you were intending to contribute code you would have to be using CVS in any event, and you still can. ------------------------- The freeVSD Support List -------------------------- Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=subscribe%20freevsd-support Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=unsubscribe%20freevsd-support Archives: http://freevsd.org/support/mail-archives/freevsd-support -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
