Companies still pay for support and features

Great idea on the Borland contest. Too fun! There is a plethora of software developers who will still prove that the software developer business model works. For every MySQL there is an Oracle. For every Dev-C++, there is a C++Builder. Having a full time, professional software development team makes ALL of the difference. Go DevCo and go BORLAND!

DonationCoder.com C Builder Programming Contest

I think it is an absolutely smashing idea, and I do NOT believe that "donationware" is just another form of "shareware".

re: DonationCoder.com C Builder Programming Contest

I did it. And I decided to enter my program, giving it a try as pure donationware. It will be an interesting experience to see, how a good program like SMIRF would be supported via donations.

re: DonationCoder.com C Builder Programming Contest

Reinhard,You should bring this up on the DonationCoder forums (where the contest is being run), as I do not manage this contest. It's managed by the people at DonationCoder.Thanks,Anders Reinhard Scharnagl http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/userall?commentid=39004 http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/view?commentid=39004 2006-04-09T01:53:38-07:00 2006-04-09T01:53:38-07:00

Personally I am about to release my shareware 8x8 and 10x8 chess program SMIRF as a donationware. Because I have got the impression, that you unfortunately believe, that donationware has to be always usable unrestrictedly even without sending a donation to its author, I cannot participate here. Because I do not agree, that donationware has to be a form of freeware. Instead I prefer to regard donationware to be a form of shareware.
