Been following this thread closely and here are a few of my couple of $0.02:

- When Boonex changed its pricing structure for Dolphin, 'fairness' ONLY required that they did not leave anyone worse off than before. And they have achieved that: no one's worse off under the new pricing regime. People who had the free version (ie did not fork out $$ to use Dolphin) can continue NOT paying a dime under the new pricing regime and still be able to use Dolphin. C'mon, folks, you didn't pay anything see more before -- and you still won't be paying anything now. You're in the same spot as you were before -- that sounds fair to me. Boonex neither took anything from you nor gave you anything.

- And 'fairness' does NOT require that NOBODY should necessarily be better off than before. Because, clearly, some people (who got lucky because they forked out some $$ for their licenses before --- some of them perhaps wondering at the time if they made the right decision) have come out better off under this regime.

- The hee haw here is from people who have not been left worse off (ie users of free license) who believe they have a right to be made better off under the new pricing regime, as some people have found themselves in (accidentally -- for we ALL didn't know what the pricing structure was going to be, afterall).

- If Boonex caves in to people throwing tantrums because they want to be made better off (even though they are not worse off themselves with their existing free license) and opens a window for these people to acquire new licenses at the old prices that's then convertible under the new pricing structure, then this opportunity should be granted to everyone (even to those who have already been made better off with their existing licenses -- again, I emphasise, ACCIDENTALLY), and not just to tantrum-throwers. Fairness would require that. Personally, I believe it would be an unwise decision for Boonex to take ... but it's their game and they're entitled to play it the way they want. It will be clear enough after that if they've made a wise business decision.
