Fabien, if you close the source of fruit you can still enjoy the great fan base
and the Toga/Moga cloners will have no chance of keeping up with your future
releases.  You have a great product and it may be time to close the door on
people trying to rob you of your intellectual property.  Thank you for your past
realeases, I have learnd a lot form studying your code.
