John: You're wrong. Benetech is not owned by Freedom Scientific. Where ever did you get such an idea into your head? Benetech is a 501(c)3 non profit in the U.S. BookShare is one of several Benetech projects. Perhaps here's what has you confused. Benetech was created when Arkenstone sold OpenBook to Freedom Scientific. Since Arkenstone was also a 501(c)3, no money from that sale could go to an inidividual, as indeed it did not. Rather, the President of Arkenstone, Jim Fruchterman, used the money to start Benetech, which he is also President of. But it is certainly not "owned" by anyone. On Sun, 14 Apr 2002, John J.
