there is nothing to buy... that's a fact. Someone had to register the name...
and Nils volunteered. handhelds.org is run by handhelds.org inc. so i don't get
the difference here.
At LTG we can act much faster on the administrative things because people who
work on the software projects take care about the platform as well. The project
people can change access permissions on their stuff on their own, we can install
and try new things for the severs just like we want. That's what i call freedom.

Noone is going to remove current things from handhelds.org. But i'd really love
to see that upstream development takes place in one place instead in a new one
and a historic one. Of course i can't force any developer to follow but that's
one of the basic principles of Open Source.
