There are some ideas to get money to survive. Some have “Donate” buttons on some of the sites, but they are mostly skipped over by the users. If even 1% of the users actually donated, it would help considerably towards server, power, and bandwidth costs.

One trend I’ve noticed as more and more Open Source/Free Software projects flow into the mainstream public, is that the general public assumes that if they can download it for free, everything associated with that project must be free, including providing hosting, updates, mailing lists, and documentation and of course software development, which is the big part. They don’t seem to realize that time costs money. Servers cost money. Living costs money.

I believe I have worked hard over the last years on KBasic and it is not just another text editor. It’s something big, really big. So please do not forget if anything, Free Software is anything but “free” in terms of cost, because we (the developers) bear the burden of costs, so the users can have something useful to use, for “Free”. I tried and I tried very hard to get some help from other people to get things started, so though there have been about 100 email contacts from people offering help, but in the end it happend that I had to do all on my own. Most of them just disappeared after asking for comments or assigning tasks without notice or were not able or willing to do special tasks. So I changed my mind and I hope you appreciate my way of doing good software for Linux and Mac OS X to bring it on top, especially in the Desktop market.

I spent endless hours on KBasic on almost every evening in 2000, 2001, 2002 after a hard working day as a software developer just to be again on the computer. But in the end I have done it, I did it! KBasic is great! It just that big thing I wanted to have in 2000: a powerful BASIC development tool for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Working on, I also spent endless hours on KBasic in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Who am I?

That’s why KBasic will cost money. But how much is it?

KBasic is released for the public as production release. Though some features are not available yet, which should be in KBasic now, I decided to make a start now.

Additionally to your KBasic Professional Software, you get the following rights and features.

• Comes without ads inside the KBasic IDE

• Debug Mode / Debug View / Breakpoints

• Project management / KBasic preferences are enabled

• Auto-Completion inside the source code editor

• Documentation / KBasic Doc / overview + search

• Compilation to binary files / Runnable without KBasic itself

• Professional email-Support

• Access to further future of KBasic Development

• Direct communication with the KBasic developer

• Royalty free license for your KBasic programs

The KBasic License is valid for three operating systems: Windows, Mac and Linux, which means you get all three versions of KBasic with your license key. You may use it on Windows, Mac and Linux. Additionally, you have the right to update to the next KBasic versions within a year after obtaining it without any costs. Update for one license for 12 months costs 24.95 Euro (roughly USD $35).

Please read this, if you will not buy KBasic Professional Edition

KBasic needs your help! And the best way to help KBasic (and to help Linux and Mac OS X to become an alternative to Windows) is to buy and use the KBasic Professional Edition. With your help and financial support, it will be possible to continue the development of KBasic for many years.

You can help Linux and Mac OS X, when you help KBasic, because KBasic is an important piece of the puzzle showing the needed software for leaving Windows far behind. With your support it will be possible to show the world that BASIC development software do not have to be limited and difficult.
