John Dyer announced last night FreeTextBox 3.0 RC.  Although the traditional functionality of the WYSIWYG editor will continue to be free, apparently there are some new features that will require a license.  Pricing details haven't been announced yet. 

I don't disagree with John's position on this.  I think he deserves to be well compensated for all the hard work he has put into this control.  I donated to version 2.0 a while back to show my appreciation for his contributions to the .NET community.  Not to lay a guilt trip on you, but if you use his control, I believe you should donate, too.
