Re: JAWS and its license history
Hmm, maybe the above poster was confused about the license terms. I thought it expired when I downloaded the demo.
Still, in my opinion, age isn't really an excuse to not get angry about this. Outside of blind people and developers, who would really know about JAWS's active attempts to try to put profit before accessibility?
Besides. The fact that they seriously talk down about NVDA demonstrates to me that they are more like any other company than an actual contributor towards accessibility. I understand that capital may be necessary for things like R&D but other commercial screen readers like windoweyes never pulled this crap insofar as I know. Why? Becayse JAWS is the market leader and they can.
Personally this is more about reclaiming accessibility from corporate/company control. There is a lot of reasons why I am extremely against corporate control of accessibility technology, but exploring FS's hostility towards their consumers would give an extremely solid argument (and expose to the general public how shitty they have been in the past)
