[Bluej-discuss] Open Source

[Henk Schotel]

To conclude this discussion /-: the dev team should start asking  
money for BlueJ,
it will enable them to respond faster to requests or bug reports by  
hiring people.
I suggest a price of US$10 for individual users, which is cheap  
(especially in EU countries).
At the same time the book can and should be made much less expensive.
Have a good weekend.
