Two small comments for that page:

>its development consumed dozens of man-years.
I would think hundreds or thousands of man-years.

>[...]introducing dependency for multimegabyte Java

"speed" should be "time".

>>dozens of man-years.

Yeah. But we don't know for sure cause it's closed source :-)
Anyway. I guess dozens is Ok too cause it sounds very neutral (dozens*n).

>>increasing its startup speed.
>"speed" should be "time".
Fixed.

Thanks Niels!

> patent-free software

How can you tell it? Does it mean that no patents are registered for kexi? Ok, this is true.
Or does it mean that it does not infringe some software patents? This is false for sure. in USA there are about 300,000 sw patents, and every program that is not trivial is infringing some hundred (thousands?) of them. Even "hello world" displayed in a ctr screen infringes one, AFAIR.
Europe has not sw patents yet, even if they try again to intruduce them with the "eurpoean patent armonization" directive (Community patent), or something like that, but European Patent Office has already released around 30,000, so...

keep an eye upon www.ffii.org for forecoming info, and read daily http://wiki.ffii.org/SwpatcninoEn for an updated source of info about sw patents.
Help fight software patents!

Thanks for community support. I think the most important issue now would be to try to organise an US movement.
