Hey Ron

As requested, I sent in an email about licensing some time ago. I don't
know if policy changed since, or what the deal is, but it seems okay to
me. 

I think s/w policy should be tight, because I believe in the rights of
the creators, owners, whatever, and that you got to pay to play. I
don't buy into the "copying to evaluate" nonsense -- hey let me
evaluate your Ferrari for the month, guy! It's too bad it's an
expensive upgrade, but what can you do? It's worth it.

But I gotta tell you, it looks like the powers-that-be sorta blew the
initial press release. I know I'm a _very_ delicate programmer, but
man-o! what a reaction from the public. We're way more sensitive than,
say, Quarkies or Final Cutters.

Did the bosses just go  "uh... you handle the feedback, Ron..."  and
then step out for lunch? Yikes!  My bosses do that to me all the time.
I gotta hand it to you, dude, you handle the shitstorm with grace.

I'm sure once everyone gets their copy, they'll be happy, but naturally
they'll complain a lot. That seems to be the norm. Personally I've had
little trouble with any release, and when I did I worked around it or
you guys fixed it. Ya change the code, ya change the project settings,
big deal.  

Don't take it to heart. You're a good bunch of guys and it shows in the
product and support.
