Jeffrey,
I'm sure it needs work, this is not my bailiwick. 
Thanks for your concern and your help.
Open source is the only way this world can come together.
With plenty of room for value-added being well paid for.
Without the ^commons^ of open source for core technology,
we will never know the wonders of mutual benefit,
via the proverbial wheel that need not be re-created.
-Patrick
