consisting of several hundred software engineers from all over the
world committed to free software development. The KDE project is a
free software project. Each and every line of KDE code is made
available under the LGPL/GPL licenses. This means that everyone is
free to modify and distribute KDE source code. This implies in
particular that KDE is available free of charge to anyone and will
always be free of charge to anyone.
Aaron has been a UNIX developer since the early 1990s and Linux
user since 1994. Today Aaron works almost exclusively with Free
Software. After the release of KDE2, Aaron began contributing to
the KDE project via the weekly Kernel Cousin KDE (now KDE Traffic)
and source code patches. Today he maintains several applications
and classes in KDE, is active in the KDE usability project and
helps out with project PR from his home in Calgary, Alberta.
George Staikos is a professional software developer and Linux
hobbyist from Toronto, Canada. (Two Canadians in one show, WOW!) He
has been using and developing for Linux since 1993, and has been a
KDE developer since 1999. He is presently a member of the core KDE
development team and the North American press contact for KDE.
George is self employed, developing Linux, KDE, and generally
portable GUI and web software.
