Yes. Enough of your sophistry. ANTLR's existence puts everyone with the 
need for language processing at an advantage.

If the $price$ is twenty or thirty dollars to take the fullest advantage 
of that otherwise freely granted resource, one cannot possibly 
complain, unless one is deranged and cannot see the extraordinary value 
it represents.

As I said, were this a commercial product, you'd not even be able to use 
it without an outlay of hundreds of dollars. Complaining is déclassé, 
to say the very least.
