If they made the full version available to free software developer's and continued to charge corporate customers or people who sell their software, they wouldn't loose hardly any money. The case I'm making is that they would in fact more than make up the difference because their whole platform would have higher quality free software. @Ifeanyl

I’ve heard this from a bunch of people but why are the pushing a gimped version of their developer tools?

If they made the full version available to free software developer’s and continued to charge corporate customers or people who sell their software, they wouldn’t loose hardly any money.
