[geo-discuss] stopDWG

[Barend K=?ISO-8859-1?B?9g==?=bben]

Hi,

Although I sympatise with the idea of campaigning against 'closed' formats,
I don't think targeting one specific format is wise. Especially since there
are free tools that can read DWG, starting with Autodesk's own open source
MapGuide product....
