In no way I wanted to imply that you are a cheapskate or anything. I meant that a completely open (or free as in freedom as you say) software would of course be preferable to you. That's ok, I can understand that. But if I asked for the Qx0 schematics (the equivalent of my software in the hardware world), would you give them to me? > BTW it would have been possible to place Q60 SMSQ/E under the GPL > without affecting the commercial status of QPC at all. Would only have worked for the very first version. As soon as I want to integrate one simple fix somebody else did to the GPL version I would be in trouble. > You make money from QL work. I don't. As a matter of fact I have 4 digit EUR expenses for my QL meeting travels. My QPC earnings reduce that to, hm, pretty much the same 4 digit value... Marcel
