Re: Are there any free, fully-compliant XSLT/XPath 3.0

point taken ... I was not being overly serious, hopefully any offense
will be forgiven.

I do sometimes wonder if we've not just gone through the golden age of
open source where a lot of core tech was developed ...  you wouldn't
think there is a decline in contrib based on github repos, etc ...
would like to see current data on the actual state of open source
development today (wondering if someone like Redhat is publishing this
data).

we live in a hybrid world which seems to work to the strengths of open
source model and the well known business models for commercial
software ... if someone said to me if I would like 100% purely
commercial or purely open source, I think I would decline.

however, none of this affects the fact that I will continue to release
open source software until the day I am unable too.
