You are misrepresenting my statement. It was a statement in response to 738190, which was about:

Can we have your guarantee on that? Not that bugs should remain fixable -- but rather that they will remain fixable?

I never mentioned Perl as a programming language, or its status of being free. My offer is about a guarantee for support for parent.pm, not for support of parent.pm.

So, while I welcome your contribution to this site and the topic, please don't display statements by me as if they were a strawman to the point you're trying to make when they're completely unrelated.
