Remember these people pay to be on here and advertise their services/products and then someone comes on and says......."Don't buy that, I'll do it for free" I don't see that as entirely fair either 
Ps, Pscan is selling a product and is a trader so no problems there  |
I'm not belittling the work that the above members have put in, but really, someones trying to give something away for free and people want to moan?!

I would like to hope the product would be open source to allow others to "take the reigns" if needed. I could understand if it's not, though.
