Announcements like this one that > attempt to hide the actual price ,($500 in this case), or refer to a > "free demo version", I consider spam. I can't agree with this. I have no problems as long as there is no deception as to pricing. The decoding is easy: * If the announcement says "free" or "open source", then I know the score * If the announcement says "dree demo", then I know the score * If the announcement says nothing about pricing and license, then I merely assume that it is outrageously expensive, with a punitive license They may not be best served by these responses of mine, but it's their prerogative to communicate what they want about pricing, and mine to interpret what I want about pricing. -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Apache 2.0 API - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-apache/ Python&XML column: Tour of Python/XML - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/09/18/py. html Python/Web Services column: xmlrpclib - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/w ebservices/library/ws-pyth10.html
