Alain : Rest assured, Andr�, that I will never resort to advertising to
finance myself.

Alain : You're right. Just a little bit of daydreaming ... We're back
on track now.

Alain : ABSOLUTELY! This is critical for my continuing participation
in this whole deal. OpenCard must be free in ALL respects. Members who
wish to develop and market products by using OpenCard as an authoring
system should be allowed to do so without ANY licencing hassles
whatsoever. How could it be otherwise when something is created
collaboratively ? Who did what part ? With who ? What is one part worth
compared to another ? ... Can you imagine the licencing nightmare that
would ensue ?

Alain : The future belongs to the Dreamers ... the crazy ones ... the
ones that dare to be different ...
