I think I speak for everyone in appreciating the huge effort John has put in on
BrickCC with no financial reward. I also appreciate that certain folks would
like to get compensated for their efforts, which appears to be the case with
RobotC. I have no problem with this. What I do have a problem with is making an
announcement on this board about a free beta version for testing without making
it clear that if you want to use the product in the future you will have to pay
for it. I think this is dishonest. The developer clearly want their product
tested for free. Rather than supporting this community, the developer is
exploiting it. Further to threaten John with legal action if he supports the new
firmware is beyond words. I intend to boycott RobotC even though it is a very
attractive product because I have a RCX, NXT and VEX.
