THere was a time when Autodesk's "AutoCad" was the most pirated
software in the world.   It is still up near the top of that list and
Autodesk finally cam around and saw this as a Good Thing.   It made
their product a standard and they saw that those pirated copies were
not lost sales. Anyone who needed it for real work paid.      I think
they like this model and are doing it with Fustion.
