[REBOL] Re: Why Wiev is still claimed to be free??? (was) Re: Yes, REBOL/Core i

In a way /view-license is like Holgers open-source example: you try it, you need to use your prototype for 1.0 - opsala, thats a hit! using open source means you have to open your source - can be expressed in money. Using view means doing stuff usually done with browsers. At least this is the first impression - free and mighty as in »browser«, easy as in »rebol«: the REB. Then you have to equip each visitor with a $100-viewer suddenly. that hurts. Runtime? $1/visitor * millions because of /.dotting - uncalculable. And download size ways to big without recycling (download runtime once ok, but for each 4k-script? hm. Java looks small.) Don't know which version can harder hit. Volker
