	* When assessed from the Collaborative Design aspect of OSE, FreeCAD 16 (basic legacy FreeCAD) - 16 is sufficient and superior compared to 19. Under the assumption that the OSE team is made largely from FreeCAD Power Users - FreeCAD 19 would be more suited - but the OSE team is not made primarily of FreeCAD power users but instead - people and generalists from all walks of life		* When assessed from the Collaborative Design aspect of OSE, FreeCAD 16 (basic legacy FreeCAD) - 16 is sufficient and superior compared to 19.
