yes the reason is marketing
he has now received all of the free advertising on this board one could possibly
hope for
now he closes the freeware edition after only 5 days and will release the
commercial version,to eager  members here waving their money

and all of this in direct violation of the prohibition against commercial
exhortations

the least he could do is offer to donate some of the proceeds of what i am sure
will be brisk sales, back to this board from which he advetisied without cost

i would love to see him do that

Best
Steve
