"It saddens me greatly to announce that, effective today, any of my Amiga-related software development has been mothballed indefinitely. This means that, pending any unexpected developments, there won't be any "Amithlon v2" (aka "Berniethlon"), nor any further support or add ons for "Amithlon v1" by me."

Well if that doesn't sound like socialism or communism I don't know what does! Hey I'm gonna write some for loops to see how long it takes to count to MAXINT. How do I get paid for this??!?
Honestly, I think the idea that all software should be free is pretty dumb. Having said that I have released software with full source on Aminet simply because I wanted to, for whatever reason. I sertainly felt no obligation to release it for free along with source and if I felt that people would actually pay for it I probably wouldn't have.
