Yes. We would like to port to Linux eventually, but we are concentrating
on WIN32 for now. Actually, I worked on Unix systems for many years before
developing Euphoria for DOS.

Releasing the source is a strategic move that we might consider
at some point in the future, under some conditions.

We've made Euphoria as "free" as we could. It would be wonderful
to live in a world where programmers would develop, maintain,
document, distribute, and provide you with free tech support, while
asking nothing in return. Unfortunately some of us have to eat.
