[TxMt] Re: Do I have to pay for the final TM 2 license key?

[Jason McC. Smith]

Does it have value to you?  Then pay for it.  Don't be a cheapskate.  Have
you *ever* donated money to an open source project?  Time?  Code?

No?

Then you're just a parasite.  Support the projects that matter to you, one
way or another, or stop whining that you're not getting something for free.

Better yet, learn the difference between 'free as in beer' and 'free as in
speech'.  Open source uses both philosophies, sometimes one, sometimes the
other, sometimes both.  Here, I'll even do the work for you, since you seem
to place so little value on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre

I would also put forth that of those free projects you listed... you
definitely got what you paid for.  (Open Office?  Really?  That's your
example?  Jeez.  Bad clone of a bad office suite.)

Use TextMate, don't use it, I don't care... but for god's sake, don't whine
that Allan put the source code out there for you to modify to fit your own
needs, it just looks ridiculous.
