<h2>The Approach</h2>
-All OpenPKG project resources, i.e., team manpower, machines, Internet connectivity,
-etc., are generously provided and sponsored by <a href="http://www.cw.com/">Cable
-& Wireless</a>, so the project is primarily driven by
-the <a href="http://dev.de.cw.net/">Development Team</a> from <a
-href="http://www.cw.com/">Cable & Wireless</a>'s
-Internet Services division. Nevertheless the project is a fully open one,
-i.e., anyone can participate and the results are available for free to
-anyone as <a href="http://www.opensource.org/">Open Source</a>. This is
-done in order to broaden the scope of the project, because only this
-way OpenPKG is able to get the feedback from as much users as possible
-and to have the necessary support from the vendors of the underlying
-software packages. So, you can safely base your business on OpenPKG.
