It's great to have another open source tool in the toolbag. (It's GPL v3 BTW for those who don't appreciate the irony of distributing a GPL license in proprietary Microsoft Word format.)
I'll echo what the others have said about openness and freedom, or lack thereof. Not only is the Aletheia tool closed source and tightly controlled, the same is true of the libraries to read the PAGE XML file format. That's ludicrous! If Aletheia were open source, you could have directly fixed the bug with random glyph detection there instead of working around it after the fact. The fact that Franken+ is open source is cool, but making it Windows-only (.NET) is pretty uncool and limits how it can be reused. There's a reason that other similar tools chose Java, C++/Qt or other portable technologies for their implementations. It seems to me that the community is already small enough that programs like eMOP and IMPACT would want to not fragment it any further and would be focusing on creating an end-to-end open source tool chain that could be continuously improved by all parties. Like Nick, I'd also like to see performance figures. Bryan's video presentation (recommended for those who haven't viewed it) says that performance was improved "considerably" but doesn't give any figures and I don't see any on the web site.
