| QT licensing
QT 6 is out and again our Pro keys are worth zero. Now, Apple wants me to buy the third Pro key in 3 years. Personally, I think that's a bit much. I'm a private user but like Pro features like full-screen display video exporting etc... What do y'all think, is Apple charging too much/too often ?

QuickTime is, by far, in my opinion, the BEST multimedia solution offered today. I do not think $30 is asking too much for this technology -- look at Sorenson -- they charge an upwards of a few hundred dollars for their compression codecs and software. QuickTime now has MPEG4, which should be amazing, and they're charging us $30 for it. Peanuts. I just bought a QuickTime Pro 5 license about 2 months ago, and now I have to pay again. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed, but still did not hesitate in the least to purchase the new license. And damn it feels good to be licensed.

| Well
It would be nice if it were GNU but...that'll never happen. I agree with ElDiabloConCaca, but I'd charge less since I'm Canadian and our dollar is worth as much as your old Pro key
