Not gonna happen.  We believe very strongly in non-discrimination among
licensees, and to disadvantage the millionaire is as unethical as to
disadvantage the poor.

Feel free, but don't expect any of us to help much.

Let's face it: software is crap. Feature-laden and bloated, written under
tremendous time-pressure, often by incapable coders, using dangerous
languages and inadequate tools, trying to connect to heaps of broken or
obsolete protocols, implemented equally insufficiently, running on
unpredictable hardware -- we are all more than used to brokenness.
