Look, for your own sake, I am begging you - all you have to do is release a version 6 that doesn't have the timebomb, and all of the anger will evaporate. It will become obsolete eventually, and people will switch over to the new version.
So much free software has been written that depends on .Net Reflector to do some of the back end processing. As an example, take a look at
Simple Assembly Explorer http://code.google.com/p/simple-assembly-explorer/
This project and others like it will all die without a free version of .Net Reflector to use.
Hex Rays uses the exact model I am describing with IDA pro, and they are fabulously successful: http://www.hex-rays.com/idapro/
When Lutz Roeder sold you reflector back in 2008, the most valuable thing you got for your money was not the source code he had written, but the community he build. Most of the utility of Reflector comes from addins written by the community.
There are currently no pirated copies of Reflector Pro circulating on the internet, which is a reflection of the good will you have created by supporting the .Net Reflector community. If you ignore what I am saying, this is guaranteed to change.
Your two options are:
1. Release a free version of .Net Reflector 6 without the timebomb, and keep the .Net Reflector community
2. Wait for someone else to release it on bittorrent (likely .net reflector 7 pro), and piss off/loose the .Net Reflector community.
I await your response. I always pay for software from companies that are moral, but if nothing has changed by may 31, me and many others are going to start updating Reflector through bittorrent. / comments
