- Hmm. Not totally true. It kinda depends on what country your in. Would it
- surprize you that in the Netherlands when you want to become a registered
- developer, you need to
-
- 1. Already have a product on the market
- 2. Be registered at the Chamber of Commerce
- 3. Be prepared to pay US$ 500.- a year...
-
- Sound familiar? Yes it IS the Commercial Developer program! And it is
- also the ONLY one they are offering!!! How about us Freeware/Shareware
- programmers? I can meet the first two requirements, but US$ 500,- a
- year? No way. I don't mind having to pay C= a reasonable sum for the
- 'privilige' of being registered, and getting the info I need, but $500
- is way out of my league... :-(
