Pillar Software has to pay Microsoft tens of thousands of dollars in the form of software licenses. Because we actually pay Microsoft to use their software...rather than steal it, which is immoral, illegal and just plain wrong.
We have to pay our programmers much much more. I have asked my programmers to work long hours for no pay...but they keep saying that Food Stores have yet to embrace the concept of "Open Food" or "Free Eats" and allow them to take food freely from the shelves. Also....their land lords...have insisted on payment in the form of US Legal Tender...even though they want to work on something a noble to all mankind as free source code. Although they have tried to convince their land lords of the concept of "OPEN RENT" or "Free Dwelling"...the land lords say that the banks that they pay mortgages to have not embraced the concept of "OPEN LENDING" or "Free Cash". My programmers really want to work long hours for free...and Saturdays and Sundays as well, but alas something called REALITY just gets in their way. Seriously. I have a wife...two children. My programmers have lives and hopes and dreams some are married...and baby needs new shoes! You show Pillar Software how to make money by giving away BBuilder and we will consider it.
