Too bad about that. :( Despite that, I think it would still be wonderful to have some stuff that even commercial developers can use at some point in the future -- once Haiku starts to take off and we've got some artists in the mix. Koki, I know you don't like free/copycenter stuff, but would you allow something to be developed to bring together collaboration to produce some kind of copycenter art related to Haiku? Of course, I'm not necessarily proposing that it be done now, just wonder if it might be ok at some point in the future. I, personally, really love the freedom copycenter gives the hacker/tinker type person. However, we would also be able to offer some great stuff to commercial developers that they could use to promote their stuff and Haiku -- which would be great to have. Maybe it could even help foster a more cooperative developer community. _________________________________________________________________ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE
