"The software that runs the back-end calculating “engine” is open
source, and is, with the support of the Government, being licensed by
the software developers, d::gen network limited under “open licenses”
such as the GNU General Public License. For more information go to

The calculator (beta)

Built using Flash for soem reason, and reports itself as a later version
than that in Debian Etch.  But there is an alternative wite without
Flash.  Seems like extra work to me.
