UPLOAD FEATURE???
I have installed the beta five just this day and i still miss the upload things as they are in links 1.13.
Its fine to have a pugdog here programming this stuff, but it could not be the solution the get an upgrade witout a feature the previous version had.

Next time Links 3.0 comes up and we have to buy the admin-feature from a third party.
I think this could not be the right way.
We have purchased a license and as i remember right we purchased all future upgrades too.

What do you think about that?

Maybe for pugdog 250$ its a snap; but not for me. With the actuall dollar/Euro-ratio its no fun to buy things in dollar.
With this as the only way to get my upload i have to pay 700$ in future for every license,
sorry guys but that isnīt correct behaviour; so i hope i was blind not to see the right postings and the final version will have what it should have.

Till this we will stop the planned buy of the next licenses and try our luck at zope.org; it seems there are more than two hundred modes are written from people living the open source idea.

And for personal to you pugdog; i remember truly well your thoughts and ideas you write about open source for 6 or 7 month here in the forum; it seems, when finding a way to make a lot of money in short time everything is gone?

What do you think, what would happen here, if more and more people begin to give their help, ideas or ready mods only for money? The good feeling of the best community (next my own;-) i know, will very fast go away and shurely you will find your mod some days later at the specialised crack sites, i have seen it there yesterday, but let my hands of it, cause i could and would not share the thoughs and lifestyle warezmen have.

The next step would be shurly to protect your work, so the code would be changed or added with maybe some other languages (we do that with parts of c++ for our php or perl things) or in other ways i dont know.

The next crack would come and so on ...

If you would sell your mod for about 20, 30$ i could maybe understand it and i would happy to buy every single license we need; but for 250$ for how many days work? 10, 20;
I think you have a monopol at the moment cause there are less people who could do it and Alex still dont add this feature as it should be.
The same he hasnt done it for the 1.13 version in the correct way, though it would be a snap for him, while we sit for hours and days to do it and we offer more than one time to pay for the mod.

Maybe you become a rich men tru this in the last few weeks, but people will only buy your script if they really must buy it, they dont buy it cause they are happy that there is a crack who does wunderful things for them.
And so they will do a copy, but i repeat myself.

Maybe you have calculate the things right, maybe not; i know about 50 Webmasters using Links SQL and thatīs only a small part from thousands worldwide, maybe the number is quite higher , i cant know it, but i know my webmasters from our own webmaster community and i know what they talk in my forum about you, Alex and Links, and how they change their own thinking about that all here, im shure they will not buy it, maybe one for all. On now way i say this is correct, on now way i will help them doing things that should not be done, but i understand why they do it and why their minds change.

But its your decision and your life.
I will not buy it for this price and maybe it must think about if i would ever help another german webmaster as i have done it in our own german forum for links for non countable hours in the last six month. And cause im still no programmer its shurly a more hard work for me than for you.

But money rulez the world right?!
But that was only a bad joke, i will shurely help my guys as good as i can in future too; they love my community, they buy my scripts and they would feel like a piece of [bleep!] if they would stole something from me after the things i have done for them.

Maybe there was a better way to solve that all in, writing code for Alex and get some parts from every future sell; but so people think you do a bad deal with them, while Alex dont do the upload and you sell your script.
A good name is woth a lot and sometimes you can loose it in minutes.

As everytime i hope you would be kind enough to excuse my english and if i have something said in a strange way, please ask befor you think you must throw an axt after me; probably its only a thing of a small found of words i have. And if you could speak better german than i speak english, we could everytime change the langauge ;-)
