Hi, all. I don't like Fleksy at all, so have no particular dog in this fight. I didn't get it before and am not that interested in getting it now, even though it is free, I don't use the on-screen keyboard and didn't like the program, anyway, when I was working with it during the testing period. Having said that, I am rather confused about what the people here want the developers to do. Say you're a program developer, and would, because you have found another source of funding for your program, because you want to get your program on more devices, because you want advertising revenue, because you want to give back to the community, or whatever other reason you have, like to make your program free of charge. Say that you couldn't do that from the very beginning for whatever reason, or even say that you tried to make a living profit on the program and found you couldn't, so decided to take the goodwill of making the program free. What ought you to do? Ought you to give a refund to all your purchasers? What if you've already spent the money on such things as shelter and food? BTW, why not do that whenever you have a sale? After all, there may be people who bought just before the sale, so it would obviously be reasonable to refund to everyone who purchased at the regular price. Ought you not to make your program free, thus leaving other people to pay when they need not and just collect whatever funds come in? Surely, that would be depriving someone of a useful program if they couldn't pay for it? What should the developers have done so as not to upset some people, if I may ask? Aman
