I am not sure that I am adding anything helpful here, just my two cents. I have met Bertman on a couple of occasions and he makes a good impression, he seems a genuine, stand-up guy. AC has gotten bigger than in the beginning, (9 employees now?), and I think he was a little naive on some points. (Observation, NOT criticism) To wit: The latest update you have to verify you are who you are to prevent the bad guys from using AC to write scripts. I am sure that some things are delegated, and some of the EULA may be 'boiler-plate' legalese that he has been persuaded must be there.
That said, BEFORE the last update we had a 7 day hiatus from any internet connection, (can you hear me NOW Verizon?) and AC was almost unusable. It seems to me, (remember my lack of IT savvy) that AC starts out by checking the license before it does anything else. I would best describe it as functioning in 'LIMP' mode for those seven days. You could get your data out, but you would never keep seeing patients with this software.
I don't suspect Jonathan of any evil intent at all. Nor do I suspect that he views this as his life work and something that he would never ever sell to anyone. (My fantasy is that the grass roots users will be so strong and organized, that when he is ready to sell, we are the high bidders.) I know, now who is being naive?
