I have to sadly agree with @mlinksva. I had thought we were going pretty good. I've recently started looking into interactive fiction and software freedom seems to be unheard of. There isn't a single free IF development system. Free as in gratis? Noncommerical licenses? Verbatim distribution only? All of that, and it seems that's all that the IF community really cares about. I brought up the matter with one of the developers of an IF system & it was dismissed out of hand.
