Hello Jouni,
Personally I see nothing wrong with calling Crafty an amateur program.  I think
of the analogy of Bobby Jones who was one of worlds greatest golfers.  He took
pride in the fact that he played the game for the "Love" of the game and not for
money.  It did not detract from the fact that he was the best of his day.
