On numerous occasions CAD vendors / industry associations of various types have "stolen" "our" word "open", and used it as marketing hype for their non-open pay-only, restrictive licensed software club... I wonder if this actually gets them anything useful, or whether is just serves to annoy those using the "original" definition of "open" for open source. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
