totally disagree with this. My point is that this software has been under development for a year or so - and has been developed using the proprietary model.

Right and IIRC, the point had been made earlier in the discussion. The project's developer mailing list is the forum; what is there or not there is water under the bridge.

I wonder why Indians tend to get defensive when faced with constructive criticism? You would think I am an enemy of the project.
