Re: RE: NONMEM 7 Update
As a heavy NONMEM user since 1993 I never needed to look at the NONMEM code and
I believe that more than 95 percent of the users are the same and are more
interested in the modelling than in understanding the source code.

Serge, I am afraid I dont understand what you are getting at.
Are you trying to say that so few people in the world understand the NONMEM code
and so noone is likely to complain that they cant understand the encrypted code?
Or are you trying to say that so few people in the world understand the NONMEM
code
and so encryption is rather pointless since it changes almost nothing?

I do have only one simple question. How many people took advantage from the
fact Nonmem was distributed as open source? If we are talking about a very
small percentage, is this discussion worthwhile? How many people except bob
bauer and may be somebody else I am not aware of are able to follow and
understand the cuirrent nonmem code?

Didn't ICON consider that indeed, this decision might stimulate the divergence
of an open-source clade of NONMEM, somewhat like R stemmed out of S-plus? If a
small academic group starts to work in that direction, it would certainly be
quickly joined by many.
