Hi all,

FIWIZ, the evolutionary-based digital filter design program
(http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~storn/fiwiz.html) is now
available in source code form. Please visit the above site
if you are interested.

Regards

Rainer

Well done, you've just wasted 5 minutes of my time.

I really think you should mention that this "source code" costs
US$450.

Maybe coming from the Linux world my view is somewhat biased but 99.999999% of
the times I see "source code" there is no cost attached. Rainer Storn is
breaking with the convention that I and a lot of others are used to.

I've got no problem at all with him charging for the code (its his right). I would
just like him to state honestly that the source code is not free of charge so I
can choose not to go to his web page.

"I have long argued that the entertainment industry doesn't want people to have
computers. Computers give users too much capability, too much flexibility, too
much freedom. The entertainment industry wants users to sit back and consume
things. They are trying to turn a computer into an Internet Entertainment
Platform, along the lines of a television or VCR. This bill is a large step in
that direction."

I agree, but I wonder if UC Berkeley approves of commercial products on their
web pages ;~)
