I admire your conviction. I assume that you also don't patronize any
airlines. They notoriously vary prices for the same seat on the same
flight over an 8:1 range.
Most _industrial_strength_ software pricing is tied to concurrent users,
number of seats, etc. Look at the Major Databases and Business Critical
Operating Systems. It seems a reasonable way to put the product into
small users hands at lower cost, while generating enough revenue from
large users to support future development.
I may or may not agree with Lyris pricing model, but I will defend their
(and my) right to price products any way they want. Each of us can
choose to purchase them under those conditions, or go elsewhere.
IMHO this thread has outlived its useful life. Lets here more on the
technical merits.
