1. If RR is a commercial enterprise then it might like to consider rewarding developer contribs: the idea of FREE or not FREE can work in both directions.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but RR starter ed. was never FREE. It was _gratis_. There is a difference.
My feeling is: that RR is a business does not detract from the quality of this forum.
2. Rudeness.......I remember hearing about some aid workers in Ethiopia who gave out free orange juice to children: the parents would come and help the aid workers in a variety of ways. Suddenly the aid workers started demanding money for the juice - one of them was killed by a prent of one of the children who had previously recieved juice.
That's a bizarre analogy. Ask any drug dealer; the first one is always free. I wouldn't compare RR to heroin OR orange juice though.
What about my suggestions: 1) apply for a grant to pay for your commercial software, or 2) use Open-Source software instead.
