These guys have worked hard, and they deserve some cash for it. If people can't afford it at $6000, then that's their problem. Software is intellectual property, it shouldn't be free, and authors should be able to charge any price for it they want to charge for it. But, I don't think it's a wise decision to sell it at $6000, personally I think I would sell it between $1000 and $4000, but that's just me. ($6000 is a bit on the high side, considering what alternatives one haves for that price, and considering that anyone who paid $1000 a year back (I recall something about 'sponsoring') gets it all.) -S
