Yes, no doubt EVERY SINGLE marketing person working for the free Axiom
is more competant than those who worked for NAG :-).

Seriously, marketing really is an issue for free software.  Yes, there

they don't happen by themselves.  Producing a good system and charging
$0 for it does *not* guarantee success....
