Amazing how traditional closed source vendors are becoming the heros of open source while the open source vendors are busy trying to use old world failed closed source lock in techniques like shareware...

I'm busy writing gnoga_doc (and the background library for the coming Gnoga IDE it is using) reinventing the wheel (again) because of open source license abuses... It would have been better for me to use ASIS, but since ASIS versions and compiler versions need to match and are not distributed as one package to the FSF everyone loses, again.

The entire goal of open source was to share knowledge, grow from each other and make sure your tools of the trade are not stolen away by some corporate interests, etc. I can't say that the idea has failed but I can't say there is complete success either.
