Perl also does well if you do need to use the program again later. Why would
it be otherwise?

Someone selling a program for one platform but giving it away for free for
another platform is, in my opinion, rabid advocacy. It only hurts the seller.
They're trying to punish me for using a "bad" OS. What happens in practice,
however, is that I deny them the sale by using someone else's software.
I don't understand why they offer a GPL for all platforms but one. Are they
trying to subsidise the cost of their Win32 compiler? Do they feel that they
-- as an application developer -- can knock me off the OS I choose? It seems
so...spiteful.
