I share that with you. I have had private communication with Jörg Schilling in the past and i think he is a very sensitive person. I have used his software, yes, decades before that, and he has undisputable merits regarding the creation, maintaining and deployment of free and open software at least, but likely even the clearing of formerly closed source code from the sun side of the road. I cannot comment on the latter nor the historical facts. But the last exchange rate of Austrian Schilling and German Mark that i know was 7:1, still i liked spending the former. I more and more often (than, say, in the 70s) get the impression that the world judges too much by the cover, let completely aside the unwritten in between the lines, but which for more aboriginal is the sole thing that is transported by speech! I can't help to wonder whether this direction is the right one. --steffen
