Line 15:
We seem to have an edit war with Hristos, who repeatedly inserts a link to this external web page [http://illusions.hu/ IFS Illusions]. TheRingess, Gandalf61 and I keep removing it. To me the link appears to be a BSP to a non-free derivative work that does not credit its sources. Hristos, can you please explain here why you think this link belongs on this page? thanks, [[User:Spot|Spot]] 19:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
:Hi! I'm the author of IFS Illusions. Can you tell me why you and TheRingess keep saying that this software is non-free? Have you tried to download it? Thanks.
:May I answer instead of Hristos? There were two reasons why we thought that the link belongs to this page.
:1. There were a branch of IFS generator among the external links. Interesting detail, that when TheRingess removed the link of IFS Illusions with apostrophising it to non-free software incorrectly there were real non-free softwares in the list constantly unremoved.
:2. We thought that the readers maybe interest to our software and our gallery. Now I see, that this is not the potent which forms this article.
:
IFS Illusions does not come with source code and its use is restricted to noncommercial, so it is not free.

:That you think IFS Illusions is a derivate of Apophysis proofs that you don’t adept on IFSs. Yes, my software render iterated function systems too. There are just some little difference. For example: different function types and coloring model used, and a branch of attribute of rendering developed, etc. The user interface is also not like Apophysis as i haven’t seen it before I had made the software. And yes, there was ideas get from Flames like conform functions, but that is not the main functionality of the software.
:So your last reason for removing a link of a free software instead of a commercial one and mark it non-free is that the commercial one was there as long as you can remember. In sight of these negligence and dilettantence i don't understand why are you editing this article. Thank you in advance.
:So there is no answer since 2 year. I suppose we can declare this discussion closed and out-of-date. May I remove this whole section? Esthefan - maintainer of (IFS illusions) 2009.06.21
