I don't know how long ago you paid for it, but I paid £35 for my license 3 years and 1 day ago (August 8th, 2009)

3 years of use from a product, plus we now have the almost-guaranteed support and speedier development because of it's Open Source nature. I think it was worth the money.

If you paid for it last week, I can understand frustration.

I am more pessimistic. I think the project died and open sourcing will just reanimate it to undead Zombie status.

Because it's developement were happening at a rapid pace before the releasing of the code?
