Why paying for Dev-C++ when it is said that it is free ?

My goal in creating Bloodshed Software was to provide to the web community and programmers, quality software which was free.

 I don't wantto make money with this (and I could! Just look at the sucess of some software), and I don't want, and will never sell, my software. It will always stay free. Times has changed, and I have to face the fact that development costs lots of money, and as a student, I can't continue in this way.

 So here is the deal;  software is still free.  If you like a program, and use it often, then you can register it for a very small fee (compared to the big software company prices).

You are not obliged to pay, and  you can use any software when you want, as long as you want, without paying anything.

This is just a contract from a pleased user to a pleased programmer. Registered users of Bloodshed software will get the complete source code of the Bloodshed program they choose. (Exception: complete source code is available for free download for Bloodshed products covered by the GNU General Public License, such as Bloodshed Dev-C++.) . The fee will never be more than $25 (Dev-C++ is only $20).

The fee can be payed in three ways:

  1. By credit card on a high secure server (click here for more details )
  2. By check (only french francs, sorry). In this case please contact me.
  3. By international mail. Please also contact me.

This doesn't applied to all software. For the moment, it only works with Dev-C++ and will be applied to new softwares.
Donations are also accepted (in this case please contact me.).
