That's an interesting question.
Modicon, for example, has discontinues ModSoft. From what I understand they will no longer sell or support it.
If the product is not for sale and not supported then why should the company care if it's copied?

BTW Ken, do we know each other? I worked for A-B tech support in Highland Heights in the late 1980's early 1990's. I was the PLC-5, DB, Analog, etc... guy.
