Re: Saturday, July 2, 2005
I'm a software devoloper myself, and I went the other road: At first licensing was very liberal. Let me tell you something: Nobody, but a very view people cared to pay anything. After introducing a more strict licensing model, sales skyrocketed. I'm talking about a figure of 10000% here. It seems you have to treat customers badly if you want to survive, at least in certain customer demographics. It's very sad and I really like to get back to liberal licensing, but that does not seem to work. Dave might be an exception, but the majority (the people Dave calls "dumb customers") don't want to pay for software or content and won't if you don't force them.
