So, clearly, Ars Digita has undergone a change in philosophy. I haven't heard anyone outside of Ars Digita argue that this is not the case.
<p>Bottom line, as Ben says, is that aD released the Tcl toolkit under the GPL, we're bound by it. Whether or not the new license restricts our ability to learn from future aD development efforts remains to be seen.
<p>As far as the community being convinced that aD is going in the wrong direction, obviously many here weren't fond of the switch to Java. That doesn't mean that we've decided there's nothing to learn from the work you guys are doing, though.
