Yes

I guess that in the near future the new commercial programs are going to be
weaker than the best free programs.

Patriot was NOT strong enough to become commercial, since there are a lot of
free engines such as: Aristarch 4.41, El Chinito 3.25, Smarthink 0.17a, and
Delfi 4.4 that are much stronger. In order for a program to qualify as
commercial it should be much better than the top Free engines available.
