Not just bad for business, but unethical.

I suspect that using open source incorporated into a product which is not
shareware or open source is unethical. AI Squared is a company making a
profit from the development and sale of its products, and exploiting open
source developers to maximise profit just is not good business.
I also heard that podcast, and I was disappointed that no mention was made
of braill enhancements as part of the nexst release.

I was listening to a podcast on accessible world dot org and it said the
reason window-eyes does not have OCR is due to licensing an OCR engine.
well why not get around that by using the open source tesseract engine for
window eyes OCR? NVDA uses tesseract for its OCR. I'm not sure if it is the
latest version though.
