An exactly why is it unfortunate that people wish to be compensated for their time? Maybe you are still living with mom and dad ... but most of us, I suspect, pay mortgages, buy food, put kids through college, and enjoy the occassional glass of decent scotch.

Then again some of us also enjoy complying with international laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley, FACTA, HIPAA, Basel II, ISO9000. Something that can not be done with any shareware database.

But hey ... if you don't care about making money ... why care about breaking the law?
