tima, I think you are being insulting to users of MT. Just because they don't want to pay 100$ up to 600$ doesn't mean insulting. You are being insulting to other users I think. You have every right to defend SixApart, maybe you have a financial gain to do so or not, but don't try to insult users like that!!! People just don't want to pay for that price and insulting them for expressing their opinions is insulting itself. Also remember that MT become MT thanks to many of its users who recommended it to their friends. You seem to disregard all of these people.
By the way, I truly understand your pain as a software developer. I am also one of them I truly understand that, but this pricing scheme is totally stupid. They could come up with a fantastic licensing scheme where they could still make lots of money without pissing people off.
For example,
3 blog 3 authors restriction for free version.
unlimited blogs/unlimited authors for personal edition without reselling to others and not hosting other authors' blogs with this license and charge something around 40-60$ for this.
and then commercial licenses which I don't care
author, blog restriction is totally arbitrary, trying to increase the price based on these is not a good idea. That's the main point.
Also provide some more features for the MT 3.0, right now Typekey is not that interesting.
