Will jabaco always be free ?

Hi Manuel,

i don't know at the moment. money could push the development process of jabaco - but i would like to offer a solution for all developers (also the poor developers outside the netherlands ;)) and interested users. maybe - i'll publish a free and a premium version (with features like svn-support) in future. maybe - i'll publish only one version with a favourable price. maybe - it is free for ever with a donate button. there are many possibilities - but currently i couldn't see the best decision ...

i won't upset you. some things that i could say:

- the framework is open source. also in future.
- i'll never claim money from other jabaco-developers (translaters, framework-developers, ...)
- i'll publish very cheap, or free versions in future
- i'll do my best to force the development in a community process to enhance the stability

for all developers: jabaco is ready to use but the opportunities aren't exhausted. you have some possibilities to help this project and get more safeness for yourself. help on the framework. write documentations and samples (system for that will be avail soon). invite a friend. recommend the project to other developers - together we could reach very cool things...

That was a very cool reply amigo ! ;)

Thanks for clearing things up. A favourable fee isnt strange for this kind of development deployment system.
Well, i will just wait and see to things will go with jabaco.

As i purchased EPL 4.02 2 years ago, and they dropped support, and their site.... € 400 paid ...

Sorry for asking a question on a beta...

No, i think it didnt sell that good. Its orginally product comes from japan. And i really love the system for programming, but there where some nasty nested bugs in the program which they didnt react on. no response on email (as a paid customer) So, some paid customers where angry on the forum about this, and some weeks later, they closed the whole site, and left.

I found EPL WAY better then Delphi. Very neat features to construct a complex program, even a component of Bittorrent is included for filesharing apps. ;)
