Uh, huh. And from what I hear, the Unlimited
Right to Distribute license is only $50K per
*version* of IDL.
So, let's see, we'll forget about those cheapskates
still using IDL 4. They can't be doing serious
scientific work anyway. So 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and
I probably want to really get rich with 5.4. So for
only a quarter million dollars I can be distributing
my IDL application world-wide.
Or did I miss something? :-)
Cheers,
David
