Surely William it also depends how 'you' define open-source. There is clearly a wide spectrum of what that might mean
And in this case I take it to be: Actively developed closed and open versions of the same software by a core team who are open to exploration, improvement and bug fixing from any who use the software and are keen enough to contribute rather than just being leeches, BUT not the kind of free-for-all, no one's in charge, which requires GIT to stop people then complaining that 'this project is all over the place' Works for most of us.... As someone who has three little things added but is happy to wait for official releases... john renfrew Right Way Up Office +44 1675 475341 Fax +44 1675 475342 Mobile +44 7767 443992 -----Original Message----- From: W.

The latter seems to be a common need for open source software projects in general. With closed source software, well, there's nothing to patch ;). It's hard to see why you wouldn't want to enable a builtin SF feature [1]. > In any case, we've applied your patch, it will be in the next release: > http://sourceforge.net/p/itext/code/5666/ Wonderful, thanks :).
