Dear Ed

I won't add to the fact that Anthony has been sent lot of congratulations
(including those of some of its main competitors; and at least three or four
such messages from Fabien Letouzey and friends including myself).

I just would like to say that zappa is not and never was opensource and that
there are strong signs it will very soon be one of those commercials you seem to
blame today after having been one yourself.

I have nothing against commercial programs and I would be very glad for anthony
to make something of an earning after this splendid victory.

But it seems that citing Anthony alone without even mentioning Fruit when
praising the advent of noncommercials is bit biased, to say the least.
