Endless discussion on licensing and pricing (was: Standalones on el Capitan?)

This really is a pointless discussion and I know people will find that comment offensive and it is not intended to be. For ANY product - even Free ones - there are people who will feel that the "value" for the "cost" (whether that cost is money, time, whatever) is not what it "should be". The
