If you look around a bit, you'll see that this is not uncommon in the
entire business world.

For physical products, yes.

For software products there is no reason it should be that way and many
businesses sell for the same price world wide. Look at www.realsoftware.com,
www.vmware.com, www.helpandmanual.com etc.

It is just plain stupid when CG allow local resellers to sell at much higher
prices. CG customers in these countries has to pay a higher price (=lower
sales, declining market share etc.) and CG doesn't even get the additional
income from those higher prices.

CG must be bound by some old Borland agreements with the local resellers or
it just doesn't make any sense at all.
