Why not? As a creator I believe I have the right to mix and match proprietary and Free tools. I want the directory to help me make an informed choice. This includes information on all tools, not just Free ones. I prefer to find out earlier than later if there are interoperability issues and how standard compliant a software is if there are standards. Anti-competitive behavior that limits my freedom directly or indirectly should be exposed (e.g. NDA's that make it difficult or impossible for developers to support my need for interoperability). The difference between advertising and information is that advertising centers on strengths only, conveniently forgetting to mention the weaknesses. I would like to see an informative directory complete and honest, even if sometimes honesty is brutally hurting. Yuv
