>>That seems to be a recurring theme in this thread: can they make money? The way I look at it, even if they only sold 1,000 licenses (about 1% of Fox developers), that would be $250,000, which is pretty significant to a small business. This ain't Microsoft, nor will they have the same costs. From there, they could build to several thousand users and have a healthy revenue base for upgrades. I agree $250 is cheap, but it seems to be priced for the international market. Those that couldn't afford VFP 7/8/9 might be able to afford this. License activation will be a necessary evil, I think. Based on their web site, it appears they also do some consulting, which is probably funding this effort. I do think they need to release something soon, at least wrap up the compiler.

>$250,000 is significant? How many developers are working on this? How long have their worked on it? Are they top-notch developers (requiring top-notch pay)? Seems to be that $250,000 isn't going to go very far.

I don't know the answer to those questions. My personal impression is that only a few people are working on this. They may also be working in another country where salary and cost of living are lower. There are negative implications you could make about that scenario, but to a company like that, I think the amount would be significant and worthwhile. Again, that's just my personal impression and I could be wrong.
