The only way, taking a leaf from Linux, that it is going to increase it's market penetration is if it is freely available for download, under a GNU license. This is a bullet that has to be bitten, if there is to be any future for the platform!
Very encouraging discussion ... how many new software products will
people write for QDOS/SMSQ, being told they better give it away for free to stabilize their own "future" ...?
Taking an example from the Linux community again, a LOT, if they have any real belief in the future of the platform.
How many work in the QL sector for real monetary gain, rather than love of the product?
Cheers
Colin
