Re: [gdal-dev] Motion: adopt RFC 85: Policy regarding substantial code additions
Should we then change it from "substantion code additions" to "code additions including (or perhaps interfacing to) non-open code" ?

+1 from me. Howard, I really appreciate how you're reminding us that what proprietary vendors want is for GDAL to help distribute their software. Writing code that works is the easy part. Getting it onto computers and getting people to use it is the hard part.
