to me this seems an odd way to get people to purchase a license, I wonder if it actually works to any great extent..

- tluyben2 11y agoI wonder why this is commercial; no more than a handful of people will install/use this powerpc version will they?
- bitwize 11y agoIn the Amiga scene, people expect to get paid for their work.
- _skrzyp_ 11y agoHave you ever seen paid Amiga demos? :>
- bitwize 11y agoDemos are an outgrowth of the software-piracy scene. Most developers of non-grey-market software expected to be compensated for their work. In fact there was one case where Microsoft used open source to destroy an entire software niche on Amiga: they acquihired the developer of Bars & Pipes Professional and got him to open source it, destroying the market for Amiga sequencing software. When you consider that musicians have kept their old Atari STs going until well into the 2000s, that market was bigger than you might have supposed.
