>>>Laboring for principles means something, John. It's not about money. It's about serving what you believe in. For me that's something very specific.

>It seems I'm not competent to provide the only form of assistance you say can further your efforts. Nevertheless my gift horse stands waiting and if you have something I can use to compile and test an application, I will do it exactly as I did with VFP Compiler. Alternatively, if you can find it in yourself to tangibly assist Chuanbing, I will do my best to test that too.

I cannot help Chuanbing from where i am. What he's doing is illegal in my country. I would have to go to another country where it's not illegal to help him, and assist him there.

It is not illegal for Chuanbing to help me with Visual FreePro.

Visual FreePro is not about a product. It's about a labor of love given to people to make their lives better. It's taking your time, expertise, resources, and bringing them to bear to lift other people's lives up for free, to give them a product with source code allowing them to then branch out into whatever area they want to branch out with it.

It's a philosophy applied.
