[edit] Latest release?

0.9.7 is just a release candidate, not the latest stable release. Shouldn't it be changed back?


Is this program really open source, or is it merely built on top of open source software? When installing the program there was a lot of legal mumbo-jumbo that to my eye seemed to suggest that this program uses proprietary, copyrighted code controlled by the parent company. If this is open source, where can I download the source code? If I had the skills, could I modify the Celtx code to create my own screenwriting program? Is there documentation to the file formats, at least? One of the big problems with all of the screenplay software out there is a lack of standards, it is quite difficult to get your screenplay out of one format (example: Fianl Draft) and into another (example: Movie Magic Screenwriter). I would love to see an open standard published for formatting screenplays, so they could be transparently moved between apps.
