sorry, i should give some context.

Booktype was started by myself (a kiwi) and Aleksander Erkalovic (a 
croatian), and the renderer by Douglas Bagnal (kiwi). It is an open 
source book production software:
www.booktype.org

At the moment I project manage it in Berlin. Dont know if that 
constitutes home grown but much of the code was written in nz by doug, 
and we also did a code sprint in wellington about 3 years ago...

booktype by default supports only free licenses for books, mainly cc but 
also 1 or 2 others

its a self interested suggestion, but putting it fwd as it never looks 
good if you nominate your own project for awards, so if the question 
didnt come up here i wouldnt have entered it, and probably no one else 
would have since they dont know the nz link

to strengthen the nz connection here is Aco (the croatian programmer) in 
an L&P shirt at the springfield doughnut (he is a big simpsons fan and 
was so happy to be in nz and get the chance to be in springfield ;)
