Since the WDG validator is open source, the W3C (or anyone else) can use it without giving me anything (though I probably would not refuse large monetary gifts ;)). > That's actually a very good question.

I began planning the WDG validator before the W3C released the source code of its validator. While the W3C released the source before I actually started coding, I still went ahead on my own for the challenge and flexibility of doing it myself. -- Liam Quinn A Real Validator for Windows, http://arealvalidator.com Web Design Group, http://www.htmlhelp.com
