Why not? The full featured for developer Euphoria 2.5 is Public Domain.
Anyone can trace, debug, translate to =F3, compile with C any program
of any size for free. If you do not like RDS message about themselves,
you can upgrade translator for free if you have 2.4CE, or for $29.
See please http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/reg.htm for details.
Plus you can use $-like feature of Euphoria great types with 2.5, 2.4,
2.3 etc, if you do not hate it, of course.

Who is an author of win32lib? You or we? This is just an author's duty
to think about the product's best future, I think, sorry.
RDS have done their job on 2.5, sure.
We can do all we want at all to make
our money with PD Euphoria now.
Good Luck!
