That is generally the conclusion I have come to and was just attempting to find a short cut around it. Matter of fact that is how I was planning to finance the effort by coming out with better tools then those offered by pure FOSS and due to the business model still leverage the power of the community to improve them... wrong place and too long of an explination to explain the how (see the url's in the first post)... for the particular target audience for at least the initial tools this is not too hard to do actually since the pure FOSS community has dropped too many balls in the community I am targeting.Received on Fri Oct 05 2007 - 06:23:05 UTC
