There have several announcements of XML technology recently from commercial organisations I take this opportunity to thank all companies who make technology available that helps in the development of the XML effort. We have had a sensational amount of this during the 3 years of XML-DEV and without it we would be a long way behind. I also am personally gratified to see the growing trend to OpenSource which I am convinced makes good sense in many cases. But many non-Open products are still very useful. It would help if contributors gave a *brief* statement of the conditions of use, and the environment, so that readers know whether it is worth visiting the site. Examples might be: FooView: Platform: any Java-enabled browser Language: Java Applet License: OpenSource (GPL) BarParse: Platform: any Windows (98/95/NT) Language: C++ License: Commercial product, free for personal and academic use PlughStyle: Platform: Mac Language: C License: Commercial, free 30-day trial We ask vendors to be cooperative in not posting marketing material to XML-DEV and their restraint has been excellent. Our (partially written) rule is that commercial products should only be posted here if they fill a technology gap and the posting is in response to other postings. If the product is mentioned casually it may be useful to highlight that it is a commercial product, e.g. Alice asked: "How can I do foo to my XML files?" Bob.com replies "FooXML [commercial product] can do foo..." This saves poor academics like me rushing off to the website...
