I have the subscription since over a year.  The Article wasn't half so 
negative.  Kylix got mostly hit for not cleanly importing code out of 
Delphi-5 Projects and for having a somewhat incomplete Database support 
library.  Things that one can expect to be cleaned up by version 2.0  Thanks 
for reminding me that I had the article.

Oh thank you no!!  I haven't gone mad ! :-)  (moo). 

I also read a rather difficult to understand reply.  I gather that the author 
was less than impressed and wanted me to release the software for free, so 
here just one comment.  I never ruled something along those lines out - a 
somewhat limited version of course.  I am a Linux fanatic (certified!!) and 
would like nothing more than to give something back to the Open Source 
Community.  But I also have to remember my non-open source wife and family 
who would like to see something coming out of all the hours I spend on the 
computer.
