Go git 'im James! I see you lurking around here.
If any of you know the History of ObjectDCL and OpenDCL you'll give Andrea a little slack. I would call foul if OpenDCL was Andrea's direct competitor, however, because it's free it really can't be considered "competitive".
With ObjectDCL you pay for continued support of the version purchased. With OpenDCL that support could evaporate at anytime (I'm not, like, saying Owen would spontaneously evaporate, but, heck you never know.)
I personally don't have a problem using the free version. The source code is available for download so if there was any evaporation, spontaneously or otherwise, I could always hire a programmer to edit and compile.
I have my own business, so I can understand Andrea's position.
