free version is not the same as demonstration version
debug version is not the same as demonstration version
If anything is free, ok, it is free.
It changed to paid, ok, at least there exists a date about this.
The old version, without new changes, continues free.
Not sure if it is needed to change name, to do not create confusion.

If users read the mail on 2025.07.02, they can confirm that minimum donation for HMG 25.07 is $50, I do not know why they are creating text about $100

The confusion was made.
We can't talk about a free version, if the free version will generate even more work for the developer, receive less and working more will not be a good solution.
At the same time, insisting on this way end up forcing a commercial version, or even at the end of everything.

I have public projects too. Some users consider public projects to be like having a slave at their disposal. Public projects are for collaboration, not slavery.
And it is not a job that can be done full time.

Time ago a user asked if the hmg pro version would contain Brasil's eletronic invoice requirements..... he wants someone from another country to do things of his country... $50 dollars to translate thousands of documentation pages, understand documentation, make the service, and support... in addition to working at hmg itsself. He wants a slave... I considered that it wasn't even worth saying that my public project already did this for many years.

Seems to me that the only option would be a frozen free version.
Any other option will create extra work to developer.

Note:
I collaborate when possible on OOHG
I collaborate when possible on HWGUI
I already made a donation to HMG Extended, Grigory has done a good job
I use Harbour.
Libraries use Harbour.
I use GTWVG + FIVEWIN + multithread, and because it is possible EXE have HWGUI too.
May be some day I can add all.
For those that can ask: why ?
My answer is: why not ? harbour is all

And which is the champion lib ?
Either way, all of them together are unbeatable.

Just like programmers.
Nobody knows everything, it is the union of all programmers that makes the difference.

Does anyone have any construtive suggestion ?
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do that are better than what Grigory did ?
