Good news!

It's great to see some open-mind... What would happen if every developer was that opened... hmmm.. :)

@Gulliver: what about building a list of software that has been released as free and/or open source ? Could be useful. You could also use that to convince more people to release their software...

Yes it is. For me the biggest drawback is there is no DiskSalv available for it, which would have been handy a couple of times. Maybe now someone could develop one.

Well... maybe it could be done if Dave released the sources of DiskSalv... Gulliver: ever thought about contacting Dave Haynie ? ;)

I fail to see the problem. If PFS3 gets *open-sourced*, then it wouldn't be a problem to take the sources from AF CD and release it to Aminet, or anywhere else, right ?

Unless some weird licence is added while going through the AF CD that prevents that. But PFS3's author can't get fooled this way, right ?

I'm always amazed at how people talk about money, profit,... in such a tiny community where there shouldn't be *any* money involved at all.
