Hi Richard For Dolphin Smalltalk there are youtube videos by Andy Bower (co-creator of Dolphin) showing Dolphin Successfully running in MacOS under Wineskin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9HhHFJn5gg) It should almost certainly run under Wine as well. So maybe you mighlt like to add that it can run under Wineskin at least. Vince

The correct statement is what I said before: 1) Trial versions are 45 days limit 2) Trial versions are the full version of the product, that is, there is no kind of limit or missing functionality (like creating executables).

I would say there are 3 main entry points to using VAST. We have an *evaluation version* that is intended for those folks or enterprises interested in the platform and our professional services for their commercial needs. The second two entry points are more a measure of goodwill and community investment. They don't tend to impact our commercial business model favorably or unfavorably, but we are glad to participate. Those are *academic licenses*, available to professors and their students. We also offer, or sometimes donate, *open-source licenses* of VAST to students, attendees of our technical workshops or folks that give their time to community involvement. And this is not something new: it's there in our websites since a long time: https://www.instantiations.com/products/academic-license-program.html https://www.instantiations.com/company/open-source.html Hope this clarifies. -- Mariano Martinez Peck Email: marianopeck(a)gmail.com Twitter: @MartinezPeck LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mariano-martinez-peck <https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariano-mart%C3%ADnez-peck/> Blog: https://marianopeck.wordpress.com/

If someone can confirm that this is still true, I'll update the Resources Page.

I don't know if it's still the case but "trial version" for VAST, in the past, only meant that you could use the product forever but you didn't have the possibility to create an executable iirc.

I never consider a trial version as a free product. As far as I'm considered, it's only free (or Community Edition) if I can use it indefinitely.

I think the free license is contingent upon having contributed to an open source project. Also there appears to be free trial version[1].
