And what will you do when it has been pointed out? Will you shut up and actually _stop_ lying and slandering people? I didn't think so. "You must pay a substantial percentage of your gross profits" is a lie, pure and simple. It would be a lie without "substantial", and it would be a lie without "gross". It is of course a lie with the "must", as there are (a little too many) options on how to become a value added reseller or purchase an unlimited or number of runtime licenses with or without a compiler and/or development environment. As stated, the unequivocal Furthermore, "when you distribute software written with their product" is a lie. It's not the software _you_ have _written_ with their product that they charge a license for, it's their own, which _you_ ship with _your_ product. There is nothing at all in the license which prohibits writing the software with Allegro CL and shipping with something else. There couldn't be. Theirs is a commercial software license, not the GNU Public License, which _does_ incur such requirements as you seem to find "unworkable". You are a despicable liar, David Henley, but that's no surprise. | Since all the rest of your post is your usual uninformed drool, and | not at all responding to what I said, I'm just ignoring it, and | waiting for someone to respond to what I actually did say. I see. Your intellectual policy is to pretend that you have really awful enemies so you don't have to think, care, or be fair to them. That's why you have to make Franz Inc much worse than they really are, too. This is called "demonization" and is a common "problem" with certain mental illnesses, such as rabid paranoia, "rabid" not being a clinical term, but applicable nonetheless. Pleas find a mental health professional willing to lsiten and just get yourself cured, David -- this has nothing to do with Lisp, me, Franz Inc, or anything else even remotely connected to this newsgroup, anymore. #:Erik -- If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.
