We have a growing list of companies we supply our SDK to. I am not in a
position to note who they are publicly, though one of them posted on this list
yesterday that they are offering Spyder3 support in a competing software parkage
very shortly. I suspect that similar announcements will be forthcoming from a
number of other venders. What we do not currently do is supply this material
publicly; only to individual companies on a one-to-one basis. Thats where the
OpenSource conflict comes into play.

Hmmm... Bill is not necessarily my first choice as a role model, but in this
instance you seem to only offer two: Bill or Linus. I guess Bill is the closer
match in such a choice. I might prefer Steve... he sells both software and
hardware, and has to keep a balance on whats proprietary, and whats open, so
thats a closer match.
