Ouch . . .
I don't know why this has to degenerate into a sort of flame war about
whether one has to pay for things
or not.
[Within the next few weeks I will have to pay LiveCode to relicence my
Indy version of LiveCode - I am well aware
of why I am going to do this; and, which is probably the most important
point, I don't resent that.]
If I had to pay something for Python I would: NOT because I like Python;
because, frankly I don't [ why go backwards
to the sort of programming language I last had to work with in 1986? ],
but because I shall be making money out of teaching Python.
"silly licensing"
My Devawriter Pro and my Balawriter both feature "silly licensing"
because, odd as it may seem, I did not make those
programs for the love of it.
I started this, not to let it wander off onto pay/free or whatever, but
to ask advice re setting up Python on Linux boxes
in my school
Richmond.

Frankly, Python, by using this module system seems to defeat itself
to a certain extent: or, maybe I'm just
spoilt by LiveCode.
We all are <g>. But python has the best scientific libraries around
(www.scipy.org). And everything python is free and open source - no
silly licensing to worry about.
Last time I checked you sold at least two products which required a
license...
If you think licensing is silly, then why do you sell licensed
software and not just give it away for free and open source as 'public
domain'? :P
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
