If you have not contracted to keep a price confidential, it's yours to do with
as you see fit. You don't need anyone's permission to
do anything.
Besides, I am getting pretty sick and tired of so-called "package/shelfware"
software vendors who do NOT publish their prices. If
you can't publish the price, how the hell can you call it a "package"????
Besides, if you market across state lines calling it a package, the 1963
Robinson-Patman Act applies! So you can't play too many
games with the prices anyway unless you are prepared to risk both the ignominy
and the automatically-trebled damages associated with
violations of the US anti-trust laws. (They may be dopey laws, but they are
*the* law).
