GreenHopper?

[Daphne Ogle]

Thanks for the response Peter!  I should have been more clear about  
the reason for including you on the email.

We are looking at this for use in Fluid planning.  I know you've had  
a lot of experience with what we can and can't use for free as an OSS  
so I was asking if you knew if these plug-ins were typically free.   
Sounds like that's a yes?
