Program categories include Math, HVAC, Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, and Structural. All calculations are fully functional in the evaluation version, and the programs will function indefinitely. The software is easily networked.engineering tools include the capability maturity models, standards, data flow diagrams, work breakdown structures, and so on.

Even though there is often more work involved when using open source tools (in terms of set-up and in some cases writing customised front ends), I think the cost benefit will become very attractive. I also wonder what licensing issues will be raised if these tools gain mainstream commercial use.
