Hi Sergio,

while it appears to be free to me it see,s not to be open source

Also note that this tool might be kind of outdated (seems to use

There is a simple solution to this never ending discussion. We can stop 
calling it free software. Call it libre software & opensource software. 
Discussing with people endlessly about different meanings for the word 
"free" is hopeless. When avergae people think of software they think of 
buying it or not buying it. So it's very natural that they get confused 
when we say that free software is not Free Software! RMS knows it FSF 
know it. What's the name of the FSF conference? LibrePlanet! Libre and 
gratis are just some words we're missing in english and we need them.


Sorry, I needed to get that out of my system.

Perhaps if you want to state the issue you're trying to solve peopel

that case one would be be to find the source code (and I could not).
Also note that this tool might be kind of outdated (seems to use an old version 
of extjs as a JS library as user GUI) so be ware that it might be a bit 
outdated.

[SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA]

Thank you Karsten. The question was because we are receiving proposals for a 
congress that we are organizing and we ask -if possible- to use open source 
software.

Best,

Hi Sergio,

while it appears to be free to me it see,s not to be open source because in 
that case one would be be to find the source code (and I could not).
Also note that this tool might be kind of outdated (seems to use an old version 
of extjs as a JS library as user GUI) so be ware that it might be a bit 
outdated.

Cheers
Karsten
