Have you thought of releasing them as Open Source (for example, GNU
GPL or BSD licenses), so that other people can enhance them, port them
to other platforms, etc.?

I released an educational paint program (Tux Paint) as Open Source in
June 2002 and it's received contributions from about 100 people from
around the globe. I developed it for Linux, but it now also runs on
Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, NetBSD, FreeBSD and even a PDA!

Hello Bill,
It's not planned at this time. You never know what next year will bring
though

Well, I hope you consider it! Or, at the least, finding someone out there
who'd be willing to port it to Linux (still closed-source) and have you
release the port as freeware, too.

That's one of the places where Linux is really still far behind Mac and
Windows -- educational/kids software. It's growing like mad, but there's
still at least 10 years of catching up to do. (I guess Win95 was released
in 1995, right? :^) )

Oddly enough, there's excellent infrastructure for using Linux in schools
on old (Pentium 1 and 2!) PCs. See: http://www.k12ltsp.org/

There just needs to be more software to RUN on it!
