> So you have an economic incentive not to make it too usable?

And... do commercial companies don't have the same incentive?

The difference with me is that I have pride in my work. I do good engineering.

The reason I charge for services is that designing complex RADIUS systems is hard. It's about specialized expertise in esoteric technical areas.

There are 100's of 1000's of sites using my software who have downloaded it gratis. They have small needs, and the basic software works.

As for usability... it's a pet peeve of mine. Everything is documented. You get full information about what the system is doing, and why. That's usability that none of the commercial products have.
