Razi, it all boils down to which usage is the product intended for. In my case I work in a school and I do need to have access control over contents as I can´t let students visit porn sites, for instance.Blame whoever you feel like but reality is there are moments where you do need to block certain content. Now education is an area where in many times you can´t deal with too many monetary resources. Hence the combination of Open Source and Content Filtering makes a lot of sense here. We all know Open Source is not about obtaining software for free but it is indeed one of it´s side effects (and some would say one of it´s strengths). I am in turn surprised you didn´t see that by yourself. Cheers. Jean
