I'm a simple person, honest, and generally unsuspecting. If I understand

correctly, XCSoar v 6.2.6 has no AH capability. It works just fine for my

needs and, frankly, none of the whiz-bang products will ever enable me to

win a national contest. So, if XCSoar v 6.3 has an AH, it seems simple
enough to just not download and install it. Look at the startup screen -
it
tells the version.

And, yes, I know a SW engineer or a hacker could make a simple source code

change to fake this but, as I said, I'm honest. Are you? If you're going

to win a contest or be a safe pilot, it will not be because of any device

you've got in your pocket or panel.

So what if the RC bans XCSoar or LK8000 or the Butterfly? It won't be
money
out of Max's pocket.


Anyone thought of looking to see who gains from the banning of software by
certain providers? Someone will.
