Ed, you're preaching to the choir because I agree with you.
However seeing all of the contracting work for the data ho's going offshore
has made me realize that people will continue to go to the cheapest bidder
which long in the future won't be good for people such as us.
I do like the revenue licensing metholodgy that was recently described in a
recent email.
I just play the devils advocate on subjects such as this because if
everybody jumps to free stuff such as mysql, then for pay items such as
foxpro no longer bring a benefit to the manufacturer and will rapidly become
obsolete.

Well, if I were to run into somebody like that, I'd be out the door as
fast as my feet can take me.
It doesn't cost anything for *him* to do what he wants with it. However,
if you want *me* to do it, well, that's different. I don't know of anyone
who expects other people to do work for them for free.
