Hello Uri,

This of course is surprisingly illogical.

The terms of distribution explicitly forbid the program being sold as part of a
commercial deal.

Surely that cannot be too difficult to understand?

By the same token, any of a dozen programs could be bundled and sold as part of
a commercial package.

Your construction sometimes leaves me feeling.....bemused.

Later.
