getting back to the OP though, Tanguy has an excellent piece of OSS software that I have the source of (just isn't released), that yes, I'd love to develop for, just to use in my own projects. I really do feel though that that great base he has that could compete with the big guys given a year or two of community development simply wouldn't work - the code would be "used" in the current commercial ventures to strengthen their position with them giving nothing back. OK, you could package it up under GPL or something but then be prepared to defend those rights by the big guys when they rip it.

There's just too much intra-community theft in this community for it to work in an honest direction.

Though, I would love to see it work, just to help the smaller guys get a better footing...
