Exactly how many 'hook and bait' jobs have been around?

Ok, you want to call vbSEO one - I could see that (though I'm still a fan of it), the only other I could think of was GAL PRO which I thought I was perfectly legit.

• I uploaded it here.
• Stated it was a public beta
• Stated right from the word go that it would be commercial when finished

Hell, I even released a LITE version within 24 hours of it going GOLD.

The thread was removed within what... hours of it being posted?

Anyhooo. How many other bait jobs are there? Or are we just letting 1 apple spoil the batch? Are we just being paranoid? Honestly, I dont know. I havent seen many, but then again it may just be because the mods rock at staying on top of this

Why not specify that if something is posted here, it must be clearly stated that it will be commercial when x happens (after 1 year, when it goes gold, whatever). Then people can make their own decisions
The only problem I have with that is that you have to cut some people some slack. Sometimes people simply cant do it anymore.
From that stage, the community should be able to pick up the current project and run with it. If the community can do better - then the commercial version wont.
