Note that I have redacted your text
in an order that communicates what I think you meant.

True, probably the more correct way of wording it.

Perhaps this is all about a language barrier.

While not my native language I do think that my English is more than
sufficient where that really should not pose a problem. I am not an
English professor though! =)

My interpretation of what you initially said
was that the package you are developing would be free to all.

You probably missed the first post I made a couple weeks ago which
includes links to a beta version which clearly states that what I am
working on is not freeware or open source.


Got a question for you though,
why is it that you expect me to do my work for free?

It is done all the time.
DJ Delorie, who contributed to this thread,
does exactly that on an open source project called "PCB"
(and, by extension, on "gEDA").

Seriously, why?

People do things for all sorts of reasons.
Perhaps DJ will enlighten you here with his motivations.

Oh I realize that it is done all the time. And hey, more power to
those who can do it. However, I personally can't.


All I'm looking for from you is candor. A statement like
**I can offer you a freeware beta of my payware project**
would have been apt.

Which is precisely what I offered. I stated that my application is a
beta and that he is more than welcome to use it.
