Availability of DSSSL Technology

It is unfortunate that blanket statements such as this may leave an
incorrect impression with readers.

Whether or not a DSSSL engine is derived from Jade, there is more than Jade
available in the marketplace.

If you want to produce PDF or PostScript directly, there is DSSSLprint:

If you want to render to the screen, there is HyBrick:

Over the years I've come to know the people associated with these products,
and I have a lot of respect for how they are trying to take this technology
to market.

These are commercial ventures, not volunteer efforts.
