No one's making anyone pay for anything. If you want to buy the SDK and
some pre-release software, you can, the choice is yours. The alternative
is to take away the choice and not let anyone have anything. I didn't
notice you complaining when V3 was sold in pre-release state.

That's different. Releasing unfinished software as though it is finished
is wrong. But that's not what is happening here.
