How much did "starting from scratch" cost to you or your client ? Was it worth the closed-source choice ? I guess it was (or the client wouldn't have taken it) Well, my hope is that choosing proprietary software will be increasly less worth, thus I prefer licenses on the "free" plate of the balance. --strk; () Free GIS & Flash consultant/developer /\ http://strk.keybit.net/services.html _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
