Hello List,
I have written a post to the database section of the Lazarus forum about a
commercial database engine recently ported for Lazarus, which made me think
about the whole "Commercial components for Lazarus" issue. This is a part of
that post: (It can be found here
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=27411#27411)
<<Lazarus is a free software, which is good, but I would pay for it just to get
the chance to develop crossplatform in a Delphi like style. I believe it is
important for the future of Lazarus to attract the developers of quality
commercial components to port their work for Lazarus. And it is already
happening. The big question is if the Lazarus community is willing to realize
how valuable it is to have the wealth of quality commercial components for
Lazarus we already have for Delphi. Are they willing to pay for it? I certainly
hope they see that it is for the benifit of everyone. It could open the way to
port a lot of Widows only Delphi projects for different platforms. Many times a
suitable 3rd party component can save lots of time and money, so it is more
efficient to spend the money on buying a good 3rd party product. >>
What everyone thinks about this?
Regards,
Leslie
