[cod] Free stuff

[Chris Adams]

Ryan is contracted to make the Linux servers by the likes of Activision
and EA I believe? If it's him that you're referring to :-). But still I
agree with what you're saying, even if he is paid.

Subject: [cod] Free stuff

As we all know, developers of free software often get hammered with 
complaints.   Hammer too much and they can and will simply stop 
developing.

I know a few developers that simply say "It's not supported on that 
platform" or "The version you have was the last public version".   
Which basically means they went back to developing it for themselves, 
which is where most of it comes from in the first place.

So next time you even think about complaining about free or even 
shareware software, think about that.  They can just cut it off 
completely as they are under no obligation to put out alpha or beta #2.
