I really would like to admit your sentences. But - on their website I can't see any reference, hint or link to Project FlightGear. But I see that he earns money with our work. I do know that this allowed under or licence. But is this moral? I do understand that he sells this without any offical reference to FlightGear- if he woulden't no one would buy it beacuse it is donwloadble for free for anyone. I can see other big OpenSource Projects like Blender, which have have this kind of support- without beeing sold. If really both sides wants to win, then we should make a derivative work of FGFS like a FAA-licenced, one which is beeing sold then. That would really help this project to gain some more respect and even a lot of more seriousness to our project. Even now, as Microsoft ESP is stopped and Aerososft is coming with a replacement 2012. Just my thoughts, correct me If I'm wrong with some facts. HHS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
