11 | Symia is released by "Sylphide Consulting":http://www.sylphide-consulting.com. If you need some more features in Symia, you can either consider using some other software, do it by yourself (and provide the code back, as the "GNU LGPL":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGPL says), or pay someone to do the job. Of course, Sylphide Consulting is an obvious choice for such a task, and we would be delighted if you "contact us":http://www.sylphide-consulting.com/contact about it. |
