That is cool! First released the programmer of Fruit a open sourse version of
fruit (no commercioal!) for all ua people. then come Thomas Gaksch an make a
stronger Toga 0.93 and later 0.94. After this the programmer of fruit make with
Toga-Ideas a stonger Fruit 2.1. After Fruit 2.1 com Thomas and make a clear
stronger Toga II 1.0 based on Fruit.

The Programmer of Fruit see it and make an stronger Fruit 2.2 (or Fruit WCCC 05)
an goes commercial with his strong program an make money!

Cool.

Next will come now a another stronger programmer there will implement a nice MV
Mode and if this mode will be stronger as there by Fruit 2.2, also the
programmer of Fruit can use this sourse (MV-Mode) to make a newer and stronger
program (and more money!) on the basis of good another programmer ideas!

Is this the way for a future programs?

I my Opinion the Programmer og Fruit Should never give hive his program as open
sourse in such a case if he will make money!

If he make a open soure also he should stop (german: Bleiben) with his open
sourse programm!

But now he goes commercial, in in this case my opinion is, that he have no more
rights on own ideas other programmers more!

In german I can better written what I think about such a way of no good way of
programming and Commerciallity from first "open sourse! :(
