Then "a lot of people" would be willing (because they had no other
choice)
to pay for Pd like buying a chair at IKEA. So my suggestion would be to
talk
about the price of Pd.
Do you mean this serious? If Pd would cost money I would stop developing with and for it.
what else should be free then??? why does not someone build a car for me??? I appreciate your involvement in social ideas. and students and other needy people should always have free access to basic needs of their life like a bed, a place to live, food, public health system, education, (including computer education and software)... but i am talking about business people who earn their own money. yes, i think Pd should have a price.
so please explain to me your decision to stop developing, if pd would cost money. do you think some people in the "Pd Mafia" would get rich at the expense of others??
