In the real world, most people--even programmers equate Open Source with "Free and I can do whatever I want with it." Technically you could say Flextras components are open source software since the source is available. But, people would complain when they found out it wasn't free. I think I was in the business for about 1 hour before I started using the phrasing "the source is available [for purchase]" in response to the question "Is it open source?" -- Jeffry Houser Technical Entrepreneur 203-379-0773 -- http://www.flextras.com?c=104 UI Flex Components: Tested!
