We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software that is not dependent on proprietary software. While Open Source as defined by its founders means something pretty close to Free Software, it's frequently misunderstood. For more information, read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html Also, when you think about the "free", think "free as in freedom", think "freedom as in free speech. Do NOT think about "free as in free beer". > finding out differences in two similar xml files. I was working for > a banking project where we used to receive contract information in > xml format.

We cannot track projects that have been answered but not approved, so we must ask you to register the project whenever you change the registration. Make sure to apply all changes so you need to reregister only once. The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgement of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location.
