[Quoted] [Quoted] Just because freeware is free doesn't mean a freeware author doesn't want [Quoted] anyone using the product. In fact, the fact that a lot of people will [Quoted] benefit, and that he can make a difference, is usually the motivation for the freeware author.

[Quoted] [Quoted] As many/most people here have acknowledged, c.d.o.marketplace is a blackhole. [Quoted] Most people interested in tools visit the tools group, not the marketplace [Quoted] [Quoted] group. If the marketplace group is the only outlet then there is no point spending any time writing useful, free tools. It is a waste of time. The [Quoted] [Quoted] author may give up on the idea, and the community misses out on a useful, free tool. Received on Tue Jun 22 2004 - 06:30:14 CEST
