I was, however, able to install Adobe/Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from the original install disks with the original serial numbers. On Windows 7, some update broke SFTP, and I had to give up on it on Windows. SFTP works fine under Wine. So I can maintain some old sites created with Dreamweaver.

I'm unaware of any version of windows ever having had support for SFTP

Dreamweaver 8 had support for SFTP, and it stopped working under Windows 7 after an update about two years ago. Works fine under Wine on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's only "intellectual property " until it's time to pay property taxes.

You are confusing property with land (not that I blame you; our language makes it confusing). Property is a term of legal art term that relates to the right to possession and control over something. There are many types of property, and land is just one of them. Artistic and creative works are another.

I'm well aware that there are many types of property. And property taxes don't apply only to land. But copyright and patents, at least, are more similar to real estate than any other kind.

Are there any great alternatives to Flash (Animate) that can output SVG animation? I think that's the last piece for me.

Enve looks interesting, it may be one to crowdfund - https://maurycyliebner.github.io/ https://twitter.com/enve2d

This definitely has potential. Thanks for the tip. Continued development may be stalled (patreon currently paused) but hopefully it's just temporary. Would definitely be something I'd want to help crowdfund.
