Hi All, It was asked if I'm mainly interested in the license issues -- and I say yes. I'm not a programmer. I'm not a lawyer. But, I'm in dire search for an open and free tool so as to better the world, so to speak. I am interested in doing some easy programming, say in x-talk stuff. But, I'm also interested in making this a patform that is "safe" -- worthy of a life-work mission. Doing XML, HTML, even SQL is safe --- but it isn't whiz-bang enough for the masses and the youth and the people-people of the world. OpenCard might be the ideal tool. But, it needs an ideal license too. I'm not going to get eye-deep in a proprietary tool and run the risk of: seeing that mission-critical vendor crash-and-burn (leaving me SOL), nor, do I want to force all my friends and peers to buy that proprietary tool to help me advance our knowledge base endeavor. I don't want to be a sales rep for anyone else. And, FWIW, I think that there were many people on the Mozilla-License list who were NOT ever going to crack into the source code with Mozilla, but who were interested in OPEN advances from Netscape and betterment of the net experience. So, should Open-Card license list fire-up, I think you'd get some other Free & Open advocates there to contribute their $.03 of insight. Mark Rauterkus [EMAIL PROTECTED]
