Ok, upon a more careful reading, it seems that VTM wasn't trying to make money, but weirdly enough, it does seem intend to restrict distribution as much as possible so that other people can't easily make money off of its work.
Rather interesting philosophy. You'd think that just allowing everyone to download for free would be enough, without explicitly saying how other people are not permitted to put LemEdit in shareware packages or what-not without consulting the company/author or whatever. I sort of see why they might do that, but then again, not really.
And again, it shows that by presenting this impersonal "company" face, it only served to obfuscate the vision, purpose and direction LemEdit's author have for LemEdit. Still, I suppose maybe calling oneself a company can instill better sense of accountability, unlike how right now I have Ahribar's MIDIs, the program for showing extended graphics (sort of) in LemEdit, and the music picker program for nocdlem all on my plate and haven't done s___ on any of them for the past few days.
(Come to think of it, I do have a horrible habit of leaving almost everything half-finished......)
