    Not everything is a competition. If people want to support WinRAR after the developer maintained it for more than 30 years and helped out millions of people, that’s just fine.

      If i fill bottles with tap water and try to sell it to my neighbours then anyone still “supporting” me after 30 years is an idiot.

        Bottles, time to bottle, and distribution are worth compensation

          You’re right and if people are demanding your bottles then that means it is valuable at least to those people.

          Also this is how water bottle companies actually do stuff the store brands in USA of Purified water almost always say they’re from a public water supply.

        This is not only a stupid comparison but you’ve missed the point entirely.
