Well, I'm currently working on wxAda which is most probably going to be under BSD or MIT or some other open licence, i.e. allow anyone to use it without having to give me money. That will be my contribution to wxWidgets and the Ada community. I then want to use this library to build a particular programmer's tool and to experiment with my Ada "game engine" which may be multitiered, libraries and a final application. Thanks, Luke.
