It is very interesting to see how the attitude of this forum contrasts with others like this VBA group where questions about encrypting Excel applications are sympathetically answered, no matter how many times they are asked.

(I did some perlmonks-style advocacy/trolling in reply to one of these questions, suggesting exactly that the source should be free, but sell the support/upgrade/services instead... but this is definitely not the usual answer at that sort of forum. I imagine that the Anonymonk that asked this question was very surprised to get jepri's answer!)

Cheerio!
