SkyBlue Canvas is Now Free
I have gotten a lot of mileage out of SkyBlue Canvas for personal and client web sites but I would like to see it get even better. I strongly support the open source ideology and have gained immeasurable benefit from the hard work of others generously donated for the benefit of all. For this reason I have decided to release SkyBlue Canvas as an open source project.
