Dilemma

Posted by: orv on April 25, 2005 09:35 PM
Richard, I have a confession. I use a non-free application, to help work on producing free software.


The tool I use is IDAPro a heavy duty reverse engineering tool.


I love the product. I think the people that develop it are great. The product even has a clause in the license agreement stating that I can if I want reverse engineer their software.
Should I refuse to use all non-free tools? Even if as in this case they help me immensely in producing other free software?


Yours in a dilemma,
