Congratulations on not only your invention but also for winning the Less is More Award on the ABC's New Inventors program.

I can assure you beyond any point of refutation that I admire the both of you for having the foresight and the heart-felt compassion to develop the NVDA under the open source banner and providing the fruit of your brainchild as freeware instead of a highly priced commercial-ware. As one who is putting before the eyes, so to speak, and minds of humanity the notion of a non-monetary based societal construct to replace the failure of a monetary based system, I applaud you and your obvious selflessness. Genus homo of Terra require many more like yourselves in order for it to evolve beyond the old and outworn systems of the past. The monetary system is a fundamentally flawed system, a system that has been scientifically proven from millennial of observation and experiment to not work. In fact, it cannot work and will never work as a viable societal construct.

I, too, am an advocate of open source and indeed freeware. As a matter of fact, I recently attended the Software Freedom Day 2010 undertaken by my local LUG (Linux User Group) called TasLUG. And, as a further matter of interest, I have just the other day registered for the two lectures to be given in Hobart by that open source advocate and guru, if I may be permitted to thus describe him, Richard Stallman, entitled Free Software in Ethics and in Practice and Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks.

In the final analysis, individuals such as yourselves should be admired and supported by every thinking and compassionate person. Your efforts are indicative of the community spirit so often spoken of by Richard Stallman and others like him, as against the opposite as outplayed by over-the-top commercial interests.
