Build Your Own Neural Network
windowpain writes "I just discovered Joone. It's an LGPL neural net development environment for creating, training and testing neural networks. The aim is to create a powerful environment both for enthusiasts and professional users, based on the newest Java technologies.
Joone is composed by a central engine that is the fulcrum of all applications that already exist or will be developed.
It's available in Linux, MacOS and Windows versions."
From the SNNS licensing terms:
SNNSv4.1 is available NOW free of charge for research purposes under a...
LGPL(Joone's Licensing) is a VERY attractive License for commercial users, "free for research purposes" would preclude some from being able to use it,
other wise I agree this Joone seems to have less features/algorithm support than SNNS

For those who want to combine genetic algorithms with neural networks, there's also a project that combines joone with JGAP (a Java genetic algorithms framework).
