Curtis,
Thanks. I was unaware of this change. Not that I find any fault with
David regarding it. He has made an excellent contribution, and it is
reasonable to me that he no longer make it freely available. I would be
willing to pay $50 for the drawing packages, had I not already them in my
possession (and, no, I _don't_ have money to burn!). On the other hand,
I would prefer that it be sold through WRI rather than a 3rd party. Of
course, I'm not privy to any negotiations that took place. I do consider
WRI a national treasure, and want to feel confident that they have the
resources to continue to improve Mathematica. So I would prefer to see
that they share with authors the revenues from derivative products. Of
course, that's only IMHO.
I will in the future warn folks of the cost before sending them to the
site.
-GRB-
