Description:
------------
  Potto project   (www.potto.org)

Potto Project is open content project that intent to be used by the community
to write quality text books for colleges. Using the open content model (check
it out www.opencontent.org).

While the Founding Fathers Of this Country thought that the copyright is only
for a limit time, the courts and some legislators now think otherwise and
indeed the passed the ``right'' laws. This project is one reaction to this
kind of thinking. Since the driving force behind the ``copyright for ever''
is economical and not moral (why we give copyright in the first place), if we
can remove that force, the ``copyright for ever'' push will also dwindle down
and perhaps will be illuminated.


There are currently two text books on the web site

And there are associated softwares with the first book
 "Fundamentals of internal compressible Flow."
The software name gdc and it written in c++ compiled using g++.
There is also user interface build using qt.
