O.K. I am doing a work in which I plan to use open-source and cost-free applications. I don't plan to make an "advertisement" in order to create the potential for making money one way or another... ! Though, I prefer not to share my personal details (what I work for, how, where) just because I think it is off-topic to "advertise" in a way myself in this list.
I consider that the long-term benefits for everyone, when people share information and knowledge, are better. And I think there is still room to work and get payed so you can live. Hope this makes things clear with respect to Stallman's famous expression off "free beer". What is important for me is to do a work with non-commercial tools so one can repeat the process without the need to obtain a license for commercial software. People around the world could benefit using GRASS (which is a serious scientific tool) and in time, I am sure, many will give their feedback. . Abe Taaheri wrote to me that he could give the code if I really need it. The fact is that I am not an experienced programmer and I wouldn't do much with it. So I though, if Abe really means to provide the code, then maybe some other people (like example GRASS developers) would be interested, or maybe not. I just wanted to share this information. . So, any help is always welcome... ...this is why I try to learn GRASS and give, sooner or later, my (small though) contribution to the GRASS community. Cheers, Nikos. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/MODIS-HDF-conversion-in-TIF-tool.-tf4799564.html#a13746421 Sent from the Grass - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ grassuser mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grassuser
