They were just expressing their opinions and so was I. If the developers of the software simply think that their software should remain limited to the Military or themselves, so be it. There is no big deal. I was just expressing my opinion and I just think that the software could be helpful in sea navigation. But I think if the Military wants to claim their rights to the software, the developers will be told not to release any information on that. Just my two cents and cheers. :) -- -- Adrian Hoe -- http://adrianhoe.com
