“We would like to address the controversy surrounding the
nature of the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium.”
“The initial structure of the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium
is not a pure open source model.”
“The only reason that the ITC is initially being set up with a
fee structure is to ensure that there is a strong central group
with integration and coordination capabilities. When there is an
adequate infrastructure in place to maintain the code, there is no
reason why the fee couldn’t be dropped, and have the ITC become
fully open source compliant.”
