I set out to create a service &amp;#x27;for life&amp;#x27;[0], it is 15 years old next year, it has loyal clients and it&amp;#x27;s getting an update (rewrite, modern skin, app, modern features, launching 1&amp;#x2F;1&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x27;21) for it&amp;#x27;s 15th birthday. But although I promise never to sell (out; no ads, no data sales etc) and have the entire product (source etc) in escrow, anyone can break their word + contract obviously. I keep promising lifetime anyway and hope that others who do do not break their word easily either.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;flexlists.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;flexlists.com&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
