Oh my goodness, the export settings… everything about this app… so minimalist, so beautiful… this should be in case studies for free/open usability.

Alas, we can't use anything but open/commons software. We work in collaborative networks where everybody needs to be able to use all of the software (if they want) or it will hurt the network.
@bhaugen I don’t understand… it’s free on free/open systems. So if you cannot use anything but open/commons software, you should be fine as everyone should be running Linux or some other free/open OS where they can use it for free. If someone is running macOS, which is where they have to pay for it, they’ve already violated your pledge to not use anything but open/commons software.
@aral Thanks, sorry I misunderstood myself. If it's free on Linux. that's good. Better would be open to modification and extension. I'll keep looking and see if I can figure that out...

> Boxy SVG is free (gratis), but not free (libre).
Several variations on free (gratis) vs buy-for-money at the bottom of their home page. https://boxy-svg.com/
Oddly, some of that page works on Chrome but bot Firefox...?
I think it depends on what you can do with it, which might be spelled out in a license or other set of permissions.
Otherwise a published work in the US is automatically covered by copyright.

@bhaugen That's interesting, thank you.
@aral are you ok
@cobra What are you referring to?
@cobra Yeah, thanks for checking. You?
And, finally (there’s so much more but I’ll stop raving now and get back to work), the web-related features, like a built-in accessibility and scripting panel and access to the SVG source, styling, etc.
If you’re creating illustrations for the web (or, heck, in general) and you’re not using this absolute gem of an app, you’re missing out :)
