By "support someone else's work" I mean "fix someone elses mistakes when they decide to pack up and run, leaving me watching my software". I'm not only buying a license of usage, but the reputation that their software has earned through years of upgrades and testing... Plus I don't want to get sued. =] >> So it has got nothing to do with being a proprietary solution? You're talking about a proprietary code-base and I'm talking about a proprietary concept. I personally don't believe this concept has the added value to out-perform or take market share away from the proven vendors. Other than that I think we're agreeing... which is kind of confusing. =] Cheers, !k -----Original Message----- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 3:17 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Stored procs (was Top 100 ColdFusion Programmers) Kevin Aebig wrote: >> Escrow licence on the source. > > If I wanted to support someone else's work, than I might as well just make > my own.

So it has got nothing to do with being a proprietary solution? Don't get me wrong, I very much doubt that Dan's embedded database offers any added value over established offerings and I share your concern over his ability to provide support and an upgrade path. But that has nothing to do with being propietary.
