What they get is sales of the full product. Every new aircraft company starts as a small project by some EAA member. (Yes, I'd bet that EVERY person working on a new small plane is a member.) Then the project turns into a company and they need to upgrade their license. DS is "fishing" by casting a wide net hoping to capture new paid users.
This is the same reason they give away the product to students. They will graduate and need to convert the free license to a paid one. In a way, these airplane projects "graduate" too. When you sign up as an EAA member you will get a monthly print magazine and in it, you will see there must be hundreds of these small aircraft companies. It is a big industry when you add them all up. On Fri, Sep 18, 2020 at 11:22 AM Todd Zuercher <to...@pgrahamdunn.com> wrote: > Don't assume Solidworks doesn't get anything out of this deal ether.
