Getting price for Cygwin contract?

Getting price for Cygwin contract?

[M. Tavasti]

I have tried for few weeks to get price tag for 'Cygwin contract', but
no success. I've entered my contact info on web form few times,
and last week I've send also email to orders@redhat.com, but no
response. I don't know if it's just sales people aren't interested to
spend they time with anybody saying '1 project, 1 or 2 developers' or
what is problem. Or is it combination 'Non-Us, few developers'?
Or might it be some silly browser incompatibleness, I would suppose
RedHat pages would be usable with other than IE? 

Now I'd like to get some other method for getting contact with sales
people, or at least get some rough estimates for price of Cygwin
Contract. It would be much easier to plan which tools to use if you
know price for them.

This is bit ridiculous, everyhing for free works, but when you are
willing to pay, you can't.

I've just spammed every internal Red Hat sales mailing list that I could
find with your message.

Hopefully someone will wake up and call you.

I'm very sorry that you were having this kind of problem.  If you don't
hear from someone within the next few days, please send me personal email
and I will escalate this.

Thanks for your help, hopefully this works.

BTW, one person mailed me to tell similar experiences. Maybe this is
not unfortuante incident, but common problem.

I got call and email. Unfortunately pricing doesn't fit for my
bussiness. I'm selling something like 5-50 copies / year (and that
might be optimistic), and Cygwin pricing starts from 1000 copies.   
So fee would be higher than my one year sale for this product...

So it's quite understandable sales is not so willing to contact
anybody saying 'one developer'. Showing price publicly might be good
idea?

I can also provide support if you so desire.  My terms are hourly

any interest in this arrangement, let me know and we can talk more
