Hi Matthias, currently we have no plans to make Spike commercial, neither have we decided to never get commercial. To be a little more concrete: for me it seems useless to have "yet another commercial engine". A new interessting commercial engine is only an engine that can compete with the top commercials, in playing strength and in quality. Spike is far away from that and I do not dare to think that we will have the chance and the time to move up to this place. Greetings Volker
