The WinForms and WPF rows are products, and several of them are a family of controls — the WPF Ribbon alone is two dozen — so the edition cards count more controls than there are desktop rows. Prices are per developer, in US dollars, before discounts and taxes; Freelancer / Small Organization licences are for individuals and businesses with less than US $100K in revenue or funds raised in the prior 12 months. Source code is in no edition: the source licence is a separate product.
