Certainly there are since there are some people using Aldor now and
none of these would qualify as commercial as fas as I know.

Can you suggest a credible commercial use? Do you know of any
commercial use of Axiom? I dont think this is really the issue. The
problem as I see it is lack of compatibility with GPL.  According to
Stephen this is deliiberate on the part of NAG. Apparently they object
to the "viral" natue of GPL.

I dont know anything about Intellectual property laws in the US but
isnt "Axiom" too common a word to qualify as a trademark?
