Hello Ari, Correct. Leasey is completely closed source and NVDA is licence under the GPL which requires most things to be open source and to really do what Leasey does it would have to be open source. Therefore since Leasey is a commercial project the GPL type license wouldn't allow them to support NVDA the same way they support Jaws without also essentially giving it away for free. At least is how I take the situation.
