[DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

[Steve Peacocke]

Get used to it.
As I stated, it is fairly common now (not always, please don't take this as

to the company. Companies are looking more to the fact they employ you for
your design and invention skills, therefore they figure they own those
skills and anything that comes from it.
