No offense, Lynn, but if you take this point of view, then, according 
to you, we are not allowed to distribute ANY software that uses 
vxcmd. Plain and simple. End of discussion.

The fact is that if someone wants to violate your EULA, you are not 
going to stop them unless you catch them. But such an extreme stance 
that you take can certainly hamper serious Valentina developers and 
IMHO effectively do more harm to Ruslan and his business. Selling us 
a program with a certain feature (timeout is a documented feature) 
but then forbidding to use it (rather than encouraging to use -- 
which competitors offer this?), is certainly not a good business 
practice.

But since we are not allowed to distribute our programs anyway, that 
is irrelevant anyway I guess :(

Enough of this!
