DoyleSoft, thanks for your reply. I must concede that there is nothing to stop you from taking some freely available code, modifying it and calling it your own. In fact I notice you did the same thing with DoyleSoft Basic, which was based on the obsolete program called KiDev K++ by Kinex. You later abandoned that because you felt you didn't have "the resources or ability to maintain it and fix its bugs", as discussed at http://codecraft.proboards59.com/index.cgi?board=otherbasics&action=display&thread=368. Interestingly you never informed Kinex about DoyleSoft Basic, which would have been simple courtesy at the very least.
Returning to DoyleSoft Knowlege Base, I struggle with your claim that you have been continuously developing the product for six years. As someone else already noted above, you state that this process began in 2004 which is only 4 years ago! More importantly, the product still contains very basic flaws, which are amply described in reviews such as http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/doylesoft-knowledge-base-v2-4b74/ and in comments at http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/960.
