And we're the only people in the world, of course! :-)

Maybe some of us running companies might get lucky and see our companies
grow in the coming years. Maybe the prospect of shelling out for 50
Windows licenses, 50 Photoshop licenses, 50 MS Office licenses, 50
Visual Studio licenses etc, with the prospect of having to repeat the
exercise when new versions come out, might not appeal to us. Maybe it
will come down to "Do we expand the company as we want to, and use
no-cost software, or do we limit expansion so that we can shell out for
software licenses?".
