This culminated in my designing a complex extended toolbar
for Runtime Revolution 2. At no time did I ask for any
money for these contributions, and never tried to exercise
any copyright control. This was based on the fact that
Runtime Revolution was available as a free download that
could be used in a relatively unrestricted way without
having to pay for it. When Runtime Revolution released
version 2.0.3 the company suddenly removed that freedom and
beyond a 30 day 'trial license' expected payment. I felt
betrayed and said so, forcefully; for which I was slammed,
forcefully.  I subsequently stopped making widgets I
developed available via my website.

While I respect your decision to remain with an older version of Revolution so that you never need to pay, I find it sad that you feel unable to contribute to the Rev community for this reason. Presumably you no longer take advantage of other people's generous offerings in advice and stacks as this would be inconsistent with your philosophy unless you could be sure they were older stacks or techniques developed with the free version.

Some of your contributions have been very helpful and interesting - thanks for that. If you ever change your mind and wish to rejoin the Rev community, we'll still be here :-)
