That's kind of a negative way to look at it.. I think he saw it and said, wouldn't it be great if us Foxpro programmers could have the same kind of product in an easy to use integrated way? Now, granted, I haven't used the product, or know anything about the guy behind it, but he seems genuine to me from the help files i've read so far. and I'd hate to see someone misconstrue his intentions (whatever they are) and turn off other developers to it by accident.
FWIW - He offers a free version of his product (not a trial), and his prices seem pretty reasonable to me. So far I'm impressed, I hope the product will do what it says, cause it sounds like some of my projects might really benefit from it.
