Gregory:
I didn't mean it as a personal affront to the author.. As I explained more fully in my first reply (to your misdirected message on foundation-l) it's just a situation we need to avoid.
I'm all for us funding the creation of free works, but I think we need to tread carefully to make sure thats what we are doing rather than rewarding people who do not share and insulting our contributors in the process.
From the sept 3rd SPcom meeting: Sep 03 17:05:44 <Erik_Zachte> one remark: I we could buy out CODE2000 we have nearly all languages covered Sep 03 17:05:59 <dbmag9> make a wikifont :) Sep 03 17:06:27 <NullC> dbmag9: please don't duplicate effort with http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Gregory, I clearly forgot part of a response in a chat session. Must be my age. Still I feel it is not helpful to accuse mr Kass of insulting others by following a different business model.
Apart from that, you're clearly the expert. I rest my case. (And then forget that I did and propose this next month again) ;)
