> it does not, it is my personal opinion as an FPL member even though I am also a member of the GSC. Thank you for your contribution which was to be expected. Maybe it leads to a debate with non-FPL members as to how FPL should fund itself. You were surprisingly silent on that part. It is always easy to complain about other people's decisions without offering an alternative. My decision to invest a lot of my time into the FIX Protocol free of charge for FPL is based on my belief that it helps to reduce the overall cost to the finance industry for doing business. Unfortunately, the tools and artefacts you are so eager to provide to everybody for free do have an associated cost. The number of active volunteers for FPL like myself is very limited. I would like FPL to continue to be able to offer tools and artefacts. Your criticism will not help to achieve that. Again, that is my personal view.

Hi Hanno, All:
I think that if FPL wants to restrict access to the resources they develop using member funds, that's certainly within their right to do so. I would argue that the number of volunteers who are available is a lot higher than you think - it's just that hiding everything behind a pay wall discourages them from participating.
Cheers,
Russ
