I guess I can understand the point on not selling hacks. I just think integrations that are free should be considered separate. I think a piece of software that is stand alone, puts out a mod to integrate with VB, then it should not be considered a commercial hack as long as the integration hack itself is free, and the software in question is indeed stand alone.
It would seem to me, that it would be in Jelsoft's best interest to encourage developers to integrate their software with VB. It creates a fine selling point for both while at the same time adding to the flexibility of VB.
