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.

Cheers!
