[ANN] Galaxy Free - Coming Soon!

[Marielle Lange]

Jerry,

As you may be aware, I have started working on similar ideas long  
before hearing about your commercial project. I am sure you don't  
expect me to cancel my own opensource endeavors to avoid introduce  
some competition with your product? The truth is that I was planning  
to propose similar services... but 100% free (eventually paid with  
sponsoring, like the guy of the delphi components website, but not  
paid by the end users, so to encourage sharing as much as possible).

On hearing of your project, I was sad to realize this will probably  
have for effect to divide rather unite efforts to produce some  
reusable components catalogue which are easy to find for languages  
that are less than 10 years old and still missing for a language  
(hypertalk) which is 2 or 3 times older.

Sometimes, short term personal profit and long term users' benefit  
call for different lines of actions. My values tend to give  
preference to long term users' benefit. Apologizes for the impact it  
may have.
