No.  DW was an *original* work (as far as I know from way back when without
researching the issue) from interface to functionality.  Therefore, Adobe,
or whoever should own the work in the future, should benefit from all the
work done from the beginning.

I'm just saying that DW and CFB are two different products, in that DW
was constructed as an original product and CFB was basically an add-on to
other existing products.  And to charge the same for both (even though DW
was $399 and no the $299 I've been stating) doesn't seem quite appropriate.

So, using this argument, each successive version of DreamWeaver should
cost less.  Only DW1 (back a long time ago) should cost $300. All of
the other versions just built upon that, so they were no longer
original.  I figure by this point, DW should be free. :)
