Yes, I'm glad that it is working.

However, I think some some confusion may occur when theKompany describe 
products such as the commercial version of Open Source.

They are in that the respect that you do get some source code, although can't 
do certain things, IIRC.

_However_, to me at least calling something "Open Source" suggests that the 
license follows the specifications listed at 
http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.html.

So, Shawn, at least for me, it would clear up a lot of understanding if you 
didn't refer to some of your products (I'm use the following thread as an 
example -- the thread http://lists.kde.org/?l=koffice&m=100574793822655&w=2, 
in particular message http://lists.kde.org/?l=koffice&m=100578391807341&w=2) 
as open source.
