Dear Sébastien,
I talked with Andy Robinson (CEO of ReportLab) at EuroPython about that. His point of view is close to mine, we produce libs and components with an open-style licence, so every software developer can use it the she likes, but finished applications sometimes should not be free, because companies simply install them and want to get free support from the 'community'. This is not how I want it to be. Software developer fetch up the code (and products) and should, of course, give feed back to the community (new products, patches, test results, documentation, or whatever), but what should end users do? (pay some cash, if possible, so you can continue work on your favourite project).
In either way, this is just a point of view. And I want to thank you very much to share your magnific work openly with others.
The manual correction:
in section: 2.4.6.2 AFloat says
property type defaults to 'string', should be 'float'.
With best regards,
Erny
