It has not been hard to compete with free software. The
performance increase and support that is provided with
our commercial tools is worth the price. The economics
per seat of our tools is about the loaded cost of two man
days. The question becomes is the benefit that commercial
tools provides worth the cost compared to the cost of
maintaining and supporting free tools.

Thirty years later our customers think it is.
