I still remember Erel said to 'spread the words' that B4A is free now.
I understand that it is his vision / wish to see most programmers using B4X to develop Android, IOS, Desktop etc.
Look from a creator point of view a painter carves for more and more people to look his/her painting. Same goes for all master creators. AS was stopping many to pick up B4A. Now Erel broke that barrier.
If we only think that he created B4X to make money, I think, we all are wrong.
His non-ending contributions speaks that he loves B4X and I tell you a creator who loves his/her creation will not look for money but would like more and more people to use and appreciate it.
