[Gvsig_english] gvSIG eclipse plugin

[Francesc]

Hi Simone,



Without intention to offend you, it seems to be you who made the plugin...
:-) just kidding...

Is only my thought, that is right to use open source products to win money,
but not in any way. I can see a little shade between selling services, even
as a programmer, and making products to sell over an open source product.
Another thing I can see is the deliberate opacity using a mail address like
"gvplugin.support at gmail.com". Don't know... who needs to hide from anything
if there's nothing to hide from? It smells funny, sincerely...

Is only an opinion, I don't want to be an offence.


Cheers pals.

Francesc
