I said that I never saw such a policy to change keys during a beta cycle. You said that you saw worse.

But when you see in the list that there are messages with registerd 2.0beta2 this conclusion is quite clear. >> But this is not marketing - this is surprise tactics. > You mix categories here, marketing "can" include surprise. No. For me "marketing" contains fair and clear information. > So, until > RITLabs itself clears up the matter - and we are back to considering > facts instead of prejudices - my word is: In dubio pro reo! This let me ask the question again: Why this new beta _without_ further information? Very, very strange - I know, RITLabs is a small company - but this is no excuse. > Other than you I think RITLabs (and any other company) has a right to > earn money - with its products. You really understand what I wrote? I never said that they don't have "a right to earn money". My reproach: How they implement this new policy to change keys during a beta cycle. > Considering how long we have been using TB, and how much effort went > into it to improve it, a charge for v2 is reasonable.

Well to send in bug reports - and at the end you have to pay for a version where the bugs might be solved...? > Please, go back to the message I have referred you back to more than > once, then look up Stefan's answer to it.
