eh??? How's Textmate a rented software? I can use it forever: nobody
is stopping me. And I am not paying per month. What's your definition
of renting?

What I cannot do is make changes, add new features that are "cool" as
the technolgy progresses. But then neither have I been able to add HD
to my TV: but that doesn't make it rented.
