Drakier,


I made the donation several months before the EULA was available for review.


Sorry you misunderstood what I had posted.


I just wanted clarification. I'll ask the source since anyone else would just be speculating.

Tevatron: that would be a good idea.


from the source is the best place. It is also my speculation (in agreement with ken) that you wouldn't be breaking either the letter or the spirit of the EULA in your actions, so I think you're ok.


as for the Donation, you can't exactly make a donation that has stipulations.


If you liked thed plugin at the time, then that is why you donated... if people continue to like the plugins/applications they should continue donating on a semi-regular basis. If at any time they become dis-pleased with the plugin, then they can stop sending donations, and the author might get the message.


a donation is a thank you for the time you used it (generally). You can't really make a donation toward the future and the intent of usage later... you can, but it just wouldn't be a good idea.


more people should donate more often to the plugins and applications which they use and appreciate. It shows a level of support from their users. I know a lot of people don't, and it is by no means required... but I'm sure pretty much any developer appreciates it.


Even if users donated $0.50 every month (regularly) you can imagine how that would add up over time and over the amount of users.


you can see what I'm getting at.

I didn't donate under any special circumstance. You guys needed the lattes


And again I'm sorry if you feel that I'm trying to sway anyones ethics with talk of money.


But had that EULA been available it may have had an influence on my propensity to give. I had never used any of Gourus IT! programs prior to the great decal crash. I was a Robochef kinda guy.

Maybe by donations?





How much does it cost to own Drak? If I buy him, does he do Windows? How about Linux?

unless your name s Bill Gates, I don't think you could own me.


I'll admit that I can be bought for the right amount of money...


it just so happens that the "right amount of money" is so insanely high that hardly anyone can afford it.
