Terrasoft appears to be taking order for YDL 4.0 now

[Ryan Nix]

Thanks, all.

Ubuntu, Debain, Gentoo, etc are great examples of immeadiately free 
distros that work great.  Terrasoft should take note.

Quite frankly, I feel ripped off by Terasoft and will definitely wait 
for future free versions.  Clinton, if I already paid for Terrasoft's 
distro, why should I have to pay them again to support it?  Thats an old 
school oligarchy model like Microsoft and Apple and it sucks.  Again, if 
I've already paid for it (I downloaded YDL 4 as soon as it was out) why 
couldn't reupload it the day I bought it?  As long as all the copyrights 
are there, the distro is based completely on open source and therefore 
subject to the GPL where it says I can modify it and redistribute it as 
I see fit.
