The world is full of cheap bastads like you (and me), but companies using their commercial versions make up the difference.

cheap bastads like us use the program for personal use, discover that it's good, then buy the commercial version for their company.

the license that you agree to before installing the software is worded so they own your soul.


They then turn around and sell your soul for $1 on ebay.
