Bon jour! :) Je ne parle pas Francais bien. :( Please note that I have copied my friends at FreeBSD. I would like to thank INRIA for producing software for the FreeBSD operation system. I have used your SciLab software in the past and look forward to installing Free Phone. I am asking about source code for Free Phone for introduction into the FreeBSD ports tree. As you may know, FreeBSD just released version 3.0 and has switched to the ELF binary format. There is still support for a.out format but that will be vanishing soon. If INRIA were to make Free Phone source available it would allow FreeBSD users to use the software as well as contribute improvements. A word of warning. If you released your source to the FreeBSD ports tree it would become public. It seems from your website that INRIA may have some commericial interest in Free Phone. Perhaps you might release your source to a trusted party within FreeBSD's organization. This person could then produce a 3.0 ELF version of your software for binary distribution. If releasing the source is not possible I would like to request a new port to 3.0 ELF FreeBSD. In any case, please let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you. Merci Beaucoup!
