CARL, Nobody ever said software *MUST* be free of charge, not even Richard Stallman, the market will decide whether prices are viable and sustainable. People just prefer FREE! both in price AND licensing terms.

I am open to discussing the licensing model. I am not open to the Bank of America using our software for free. -Carl At 5/21/01 10:15 PM +0200, you wrote:
