My apologies for the inconvenience.

The corrected sentence:

"Could have negative influence on image (e.g. within 
Open-Source-Communities ) "

My statements are normally backupd by rationales.

You can simply verify their validity.

"Reduces distribution"

I think no one can doubt that a free version (ideally one which can be 
redistributed freely) increases the distribution of a product.

"simplified distribution due to no-cost version (which could be packaged 
e.g. within distributions which have not strict open-source 
requirements. ActiveState would keep his rights). "

The simplified download should be undoubtable, too:

"A free edition would simplify the download procedure drastically. A 
link "get the free personal edition" from the main page would be enough. 
No license-key required. Quick, Easy and no hassle - get an IDE for 5 
dynamic languages."

Thank you for notifying me about the wrong wording.
