[GRASS-user] Re: Interesting Letter in tree which nentions GRASS

[Duccio Rocchini]

Dear Rainer

As stated by Markus actually the letter on the Four Freedoms is free
on-line in the TREE site at:
PDF:
http://download.cell.com/trends/ecology-evolution/pdf/PIIS0169534712000742.pdf

Thanks for your comment on our letter: "very succinct letter which brings
the issue to the point: Science should use open software.".

This is exactly our aim and we are fighting to publish free code for
statistical analysis of spatial data, which in most cases is not considered
the bulk of a paper but only its appendix!!

My very best!

Duccio
