	I never understood this "they have a hell of a neve selling X for
$Y" attitude.  They can charge whatever they want for software and promise
as little support as they like.  It's up to you to decide if it's worth it.
If you think it's not, nobody's forcing you to buy it.  As long as they
deliver what they promise (in this case, unsupported source code), I don't
see where anybody has any legitimate complaint.
