Same thing, i doubt Jelsoft ever wants to become a party in between a business deal of 2 other people.

I mentioned Pinnacle Systems earlier - and they should be considered a good/successful business model. They have 3rd party addons to their software, that people can purchase through their software, that they are not liable for and do not support. I think that it is short-sighted business-wise to let some revenue like that slip through their hands, but I am not going to argue the point any further.

As far as the claims that everyone will start charging for every simple template edit that is silly, since the market will bear only what it can support. I don't forsee a lot of smalltime vb hackers opening up their corner lemonade stand with template edits and bb codes- and if the market will support that lemonade stand site for some odd reason then more power to them, but I doubt it will.

Also- any smart business person will still release free stuff through here as a means to educate people about their site.
