This is not the right attitude, we have a bug that is very hard to

I think this is a good idea. For reasons already outlined. It would also
give people a place to find honorable ways to get a copy instead of a cheap
CD with a 3 yo version.
I do think maintaining the list may be difficult. Maybe allow some type of

Despite my fear of being considered too dumb to use OO, here's my experience:
when a document I was working on (just trying to insert a line by hitting
"return" between two lines) suddenly became all hashtag gibberish - as then did
