[QUOTE="waeberd, post: 12354, member: 10343"] Seconded, mPod! Another thought: For most freeware products who went commercial, you could never get the source code! MP is different here, anyone can compile his own MP release anytime, and this difference gives me a certain guarantee that my work - be it as a coder, chat-supporter, forum-supporter, tester, wiki-documentation-writer, skinner, web-page-maintainer, translator.... [i]<put in all the MP functions here>[/i] - will not be used by another guy to earn money. This is a huge motivation for me! I can be really part of the community! That's why I'm here and that's why I'm sacrifying hours for MP (even if my work is only a very small contribution compared to the huge work the chiefs are doing for MP). All of the freeware products going commercial (with a long-build user-community that makes the product better and better) will face the problem that users won't work as much for the bought product as before. So the company slowly has to find (and pay!) people who build a team that produces at least the same quality work. This is tough in the long term and this gets very expensive! So: long live MP! :D Regards, Daniel - who sounded like a priest here :-) [/QUOTE]
