软件购买

今天收到一封同事发的邮件针对某软件,说如果大家试用了觉得需要,可以问他申请购买 license. 邮件结尾:

If you are using it seriously then please don’t use an evaluation version (this goes for all software) – not only is it illegal, it also keeps money out of the hands of starving software engineers who deserve it.

盗版直接伤害的是软件作者的利益,但是他们热情的消退明显会影响市场上软件的质量,间接地也会影响到软件用户,包括盗版使用者。这影响在中国尤其严重,所以现在在中国很难看到有人在做桌面软件卖 license。但还是希望更加合理的定价和越来越强的版权意识能让这个市场恢复。手机软件市场的兴起是一个好兆头,不过目前国内舍得为这个付钱的还是少数……
