There is NOT ANY commerical link in the page. The software is an open-source project and the links are pointed to its web site. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 165.170.128.66 (talkcontribs) .

I was referring to the addition of this link to Steam engine. This is clearly a commercial link added as spam. It was also highly inappropriate for the article concerned. Gwernol 12:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bmises\.org' (link(s): http://www.mises.org/store/Austrian-Perspective-on-the-History-of-Economic) .
