  Well, they could losen up the restrictions on some of their
peripheral components without opening up the whole thing. Like for
instance, allow someone (was it you or Martin who expressed a
willingness to do this piece) to make the online docs available over
the net via HTML. I can't see how that could have any negative impact
on their revenue stream. There are various scenerios under which I'd
volunteer some of my time to the maintainance and enhancement of CLIM.
I'd much rather spend my time doing that than reimplementing it from
scratch. Things like that.
