Will you please stop whining - you sound like my youngest son when his
favorite toy gets taken away. You refer to 'free' as in 'free beer' -
not as in 'free speech' which in my opinion makes you nothing more than
a leecher.

If you really need the features that currently are "restricted" to the
BSEE edition why not actually do something smart and PAY for them to
support the project ?  We are gladly paying for BSEE - the price they
offer is ridiculously low compared to other vendors. We saved ~150.000
EUR in upfront license investments alone and are still saving money
every year on the support subscription.

Besides access to the few "restricted" features you get worldclass
support from the people that know Bacula in and out - that alone is
worth the money.

Bacula is definitivly NOT going to die - I dare to say that the opposite
is happening.

What Kern and the rest of Bacula Systems have done is a very reasonable
and logic approach to the problem that surrounds many open source
projects.

They offer A LOT of value for nothing in the community edition - you
should be grateful for that.
