   In my case, it is because in the 1980's/90's I had a package I really   
   liked... enough to pay for it.  When the author abandoned the software, it   
   would have been nice to be able to make updates to it to keep it going.   
   Someone did manage to hex edit it and at least make it mostly Y2K   
   compliant, but it makes me leary to invest a lot of time and energy in   
   setting something up that someone else could walk off and leave.
