Contrary to redhat, suse, and other companies that sell the work
of others, I sell only my work.

My software is distributed for free since 12-13 years. I have financed
all expenses, put up with all the work. I refuse however to give it away
as GNU source so that redhat or another company that thrives on open
source can sell it and profit from my work with me receiving NOTHING.

Because here there is obviously a double standard.

I see no double standard.

You provide lcc-win32 at no charge for non-commercial use. You charge
money for commercial use. Nobody, as far as I can remember, has ever
objected to that.

But when people point out the terms under which lcc-win32 is
available, in words entirely consistent with what you've written
on <http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/>, you call them liars.

When I try to earn money with my work I am a shrewd business man
always spamming, etc.

When you recommend your own product on this newsgroup bu pushing some
non-standard extension that it implements, sometimes without
acknowledging your own association with it, that's an inappropriate
use of the newsgroup.
