I don't get it.

I've seen responses like that in the Ubuntu, Drupal, and Inkscape forums. It's pretty common among successful projects to have separate venues for support and bug tracking.

The bugzilla thing contains a list of bugs going back years which have never been addressed.

That doesn't seem surprising with a mature million-line code base.

I still don't get how it's funny.

Is there a particular issue you're concerned about seeing addressed in your current licensed copy?

My copy of LC 4.5 (licensed in perpetuity) refuses to run on any Mac system newer than 10.7. My copy of DreamCard 2.6.1 refuses to work on Intel processor Macs. My copy of RevMedia 2.x.x will, also only run on PPC machines.

Yes, that's understandable because each one of those programs is not receiving any further development. You can add LCC 9.6.3 to that list regarding not working on Arm macs too (not natively).

While the OS moves on, the programs have to move on with it or become 'frozen' as far as compatibility goes. Of course, this is what we've covered elsewhere time and time again on here in various guises: nobody is going to pour huge amounts of time (and/or) money into re-coding DreamCard for intel/arm, RevMedia 2.x for intel/arm - not unless they are doing it for the love of it, or for a financial incentive.

It's certainly not a weekend project.

I am well aware of all that: but as someone could not even begin to see what was funny about my OP . . .
