I think the arguement could be sucessfully made that gEDA is building the framework for just such a business model. Why not? Also, Companies like Altera and Xylinx are making thier tools available for free these days - It's a step in the right direction. FWIW, we use alot of Altera and the free tools do work as advertised (Well, like all apps, there are a few bugs). But, these apps are proprietary and are not in the same vein gEDA. Even so, they are free to use. Best Marvin
