I was thinking big-time. "WE" have about 200 different sites and 3 different projects (avg of 100,000 lines each)-all running on 64-user, 500-2000 MEGbyte "UNIX" superminis. My original post was merely looking to get away from ANY type of site licensing, royalties, object code, etc. We want FREE SOURCE. Well, I see a solution in just breakin out the books an doin it ourselves. No Sig.
