Its source is already available: the demo version is freely downloadable, and customers of the full-up version get source. If you mean, when will RR Software find sufficient other sources of money that they can give away CLAW, and continue to work adding to it, for free, I haven't a clue. Perhaps you can suggest something, or send them a large check. ;) I believe Windex is GPLed, but of course it hasn't yet had the man hours invested and thus is less complete, but if you're not in a hurry, or want to help develop it..... If you want to make your own GPLed thick binding, our TriAda paper on considerations and approaches for a Windows binding is available for free (in both usages of the term) at the www.rrsoftware.com site.
