As I said, we're not against open source.

I thought Ed:IT launching on 10th March (School of Ed and Learning Team
Nottingham) were open source having produced tools for Moodle - the
audio recorder for example and various other tools are contributing to
Moodle development. Seems to me that you do a lot to support open source
already.

No plans for Mac / Linux at the moment, I'm afraid. However, the file
format is open, and anyone can make their own editor for whatever
platform they like.
 
When I've done open source projects in the past, I have found it to be a
one way street. The promised legions of developers who would turn up and
freely give of their time to improve the code, fix all the bugs and
write the documentation never appeared. We have an open mind about open
source - we're not against it, but supporting an open source project
would require a significant investment of our time, which we don't have
right now.

	Wondering if there are any active efforts to port this to Linux,
Mac OS X?
	
	Also, would like to cast a vote that this software code be
released under GPL copyright :)
