The issue that has me curious on this is what about bug fixes as opposed to new features? I use & love RDi and have a legal copy

I find what appear to me to be not-as-designed points from time to time. I don't expect new features but I would like a bug-fix every few years.

IBM will not give you new keys for hardware that's not currently
licensed, why should other vendors? You stopped paying them for
maintenance or support so what entitles you to new keys? It doesn't
matter if 'it's easy'. It's also 'easy' to duplicate a DVD and give it
to a friend instead of paying for one of your own. It's easy to copy
software and install it on another PC. That doesn't make it legal.

I completely agree with what Pete is doing here but anyone who thinks
they deserve keys for free when they are technically not even a customer
any longer is in my opinion flatly wrong.
