<DIV><SPAN class=70050416-01032000><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>At
the IBPSA meeting in Dallas someone mentioned a variety of licenses were
available or pending for EnergyPlus. This was in response to my marginally
ignorant comment that `giving DOE free license to development work done by the
private sector seemed like a dis-incentive to private sector development`
(marginally ignorant because I haven't personally examined the existing
EnergyPlus licensing agreements) </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
