Dear Rainer<br><br>As stated by Markus actually the letter on the Four Freedoms is free on-line in the TREE site at:<br>PDF: <a href="http://download.cell.com/trends/ecology-evolution/pdf/PIIS0169534712000742.pdf" target="_blank">http://download.cell.com/trends/ecology-evolution/pdf/PIIS0169534712000742.pdf</a><br>
<br>Thanks for your comment on our letter: "very succinct letter
which brings the issue to the point: Science should use open
software.". <br><br>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!!<br><br>

Hi<br>
<br>
There is an interesting letter by Duccio Rocchini and Markus Neteler in "Trends in Ecology and<br>
Evolution" on use of open software in science and research which also mentions GRASS:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169534712000742" target="_blank">http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169534712000742</a><br>
<br>
Unfortunately it is behind a paywall.<br>
<br>
Markus - would it be possible to blog this letter somewhere if the copyright permits?<br>
<br>
But anyway - very succinct letter which brings the issue to the point: Science should use open<br>
software.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Rainer<br>
