No, I'm not concerned about theft or anything else. I'm more concerned
about keeping the software out of the hands of inexperienced users so
as not to promulgate a bad impression during the preliminary alpha
stage. e.g. "I just downloaded AstroPlanner 2.0a1 and it crashed
before I did anything. What a pile of cr*p!"
Once it's polished up a bit, relatively feature complete, and
cosmetically pleasing, then I'd be less reluctant to release it to the
unwashed masses (and possibly start charging them for an upgrade fee).
