Yeah, after looking a bit deeper into it, AIR isn't entirely open source,
though it uses open source parts which are interesting to us (sqlite for
example)

Let's wait to see what Bryan from OLE Nepal has in mind in terms of the

Yep read most of the thread and understand the difference... though from a
recent conversation with Colin, he seems much more inclined to do something
