- Much as I hate to inject some facts into this discussion, but as the only
- warlorder who works for a GIS company, I feel it's my duty.
-
- GRASS is a public domain GIS written originally by the US Army Corps of
- Engineers. Now-a-days, outside users such as universities and the like get
- the source code and make improvements. I believe what this guy _really_ does
- is take the modifications made by outsiders and intergrates it into the core
- GRASS product.
-
- Sorry, I liked the other possibility better...
