Thats at least 100% more than we've seen for the proof of greedyness!
And it isn't legal to use the NP software with FT, it only can't be prosecuted.
But keep on grasping for straws to keep your morality intact, if it is okay for you to bent legality when you don't have to fear prosecution, so be it.
Just don't tell everybody it is perfectly ok to do so.
Btw, i have to admit that i am no angel myself, but thats private and i dont advertise.

Frankly, NP profit margin is irrelevant from my point of view. It is a simple make/buy decision where I do a differential cost/benefit analysis relative to my pocket book. That has nothing to do with NP profit margin and the reason I didn't jump into that conversation. The fact that adonys uses it in his purchasing decision is an example of exogenous factor in play. If he doesn't want to buy TrackIR because he feels NP profit margin is too high, well more power to him. If you feel NP is an itty bitty company that needs your donation to survive and it gives you feeling of moral superiority, well more power to you. These aren't economic rational reasons in my mind. But they do drive purchasing decisions. Now, if you want to buy TrackIR because you don't want to build one and you want customer support, that is rational imo. If you want to build Freetrack and save some money, that is also rational imo.
