People aren't evil or wrong for trying to make money off their work. I worked on PA Hud
full time for five months before charging. I regularly put in
40+ hours a week on support and development. There is no way I could've continued working on it if I wasn't making a little money with it.

I agree that people should be able to make $ from their software if they so wish, and that the efficient market hypothesis should be the deciding factor on pricing: I have seen poker software selling for 1/2 of this which have obviously had many 100's of man hours going into them, and these are the projects I would like to see succeed, and would happily buy myself. These would be a major bit of software engineering for anybody to undertake.

Sorry if I came across as being a hater of all payware software, as I am not! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It was just the author tried to claim it was some huge undertaking to grab some memory and dump it to disk (and then try to charge 2x more than PAHUD for about 1% of the man hours).
