Yes, as you blogged a little while ago (when you broke Saxon up into HE, 
PE and EE versions), it is time the pendulum started to swing the other way.

Years ago, Win 95 era, I developed and sold a utility for "rollback your 
file system".  The product took 3 years to develop; everyone loved it; 
few paid for it.  When Win NT came in fashion, everyone wanted my Win 95 
product for NT.  Sorry folks, "I can't afford $80K for a Win NT file 
system internals kit (for the undocumented stuff etc.) to build the 
product.  Thanks to the pirates and free-loaders there will be no such 
utility of my making for Win NT."**

**There were more Google hits for how to crack my licensing than about 
actually using my product.  Free-warez agents loved my product because 
it gave them then tools to help crack software-protected license schemes 
used in other products.
