JPluck is NOT being moved to a proprietary model. This is a *completely* false statement. The source is there for others to pick up. Also, I'm not using any JPluck code in my new project.

I have *never* proposed any features to the Plucker dev team. Another *completely* false statement. Actually, I helped Adam McDaniel in developing multi-images last spring. (Back then, JPluck was the only p****r that supported multi-images.) Features not "worthy of supporting in Plucker"? What is wrong with you???
I'm developing my own viewer because I think there is plenty of room for improvement in PDA web viewer/reading software. You'll understand when you see it in action (in a few months). My decision has absolutely *nothing* to do with Plucker. I'm simply starting my own business and the new viewer will be one of the products in my portfolio.
The viewer will be commercial and closed-source, that is true, but the desktop and server tools will be open-source. Also, the viewer will support HTML, XML and GIF/JPEG/PNG directly. There's nothing proprietary about those formats.
