> I think it's time to change the licensing for REBOL/Core

> Core and View would be free for use and redistribution for

> copies are in use at a single company, then purchasing would
> be required. Exception would be the use of REBOL for any
> educational purposes.

> This mean you can use REBOL for creating and selling your

> ===Release of new Core and View
>
> It's good to see users reporting that the new Core and View fix
> a number of bugs and crashes. We've been using this Core for
> so many months now, we've forgotten about those.
>
> Also, be sure to tell us about any additional types of crashes,

> ===Just Remember on IOS...

> I just wanted to point out that, just as VID is just a subsystem
> running on View (and you can write your own VID or similar GUI
> system), the IOS Desktop is just an application that runs on IOS.
> IOS is capable of a lot more than just that provided by the Desktop.
> In fact it is possible to create custom desktop apps that change
> it completely. The desktop is written 100% in REBOL and is about
> 40K of code.
>
> We've been thinking of alternate types of desktops that are more
> organizational workflow specific. We've got some killer-app ideas
> too!
>
> That's it for now! Got to run. Remember to Vote for REBOL!
