• "Quit looking for socialist handouts."

    Mark

    Actually, a "socialist" handout would be based on need.  The kind of handout that Dinakar is seeking is more a product of a capitalist society, where companies give freebies to people they perceive as having enough influence that other people would then want to buy their product.  So, if you can get something for free (legally, of course), then why pay for it?  The developers will still get paid and the company's profile will be enhanced... they are, after all, entitled to say no.
