You're statements that: "IBM is the only company which is not try to
'catch' the customer" and "Only IBM's license agreemenst are let's say
FAIR" [SIC]--which I will paraphrase, since you are a non-native English
speaker, to mean: "IBM is the only honest mainframe software company"
are highly insulting and patently false.
You might have read so-called "horror" stories. And, you might have your
own anecdotal negative experiences. But, I know for an ABSOLUTE FACT you
are NOT a customer of Phoenix Software International. Your assertions,
therefore, should not and cannot apply to us or any other software
providers with whom you do not do business. (I suspect there are
*dozens* of them--some who freely contribute their time and expertise to
this list!)
Your statements are unfair, inaccurate, subjective opinion presented as
fact, and ought to be recanted...
I recant.
I shouldn't say that IBM is the only honest company. That should be "the
only honest company *I know* ". This statement does not preclude other
companies.
Obviously I didn't mean PSI, because I had nothing to do with this
company. However *every* ISV's license agreement I met needed
negotiation. Not only for the price, but first of all terms and
conditions. Sometimes it was small change, but sometimes not.
Last but not least: ISV *technical* employees usually are not
responsible for marketing model of the company they work for.
