There's also nothing wrong with generating revenue from a website. In fact, large websites cannot be maintained without generating revenue (I pay hundreds of dollars per month for my hosting; without generating some revenue, my family goes hungry).

Even so, revenue isn't the issue here. I don't know why people keep focusing on it.

alas i'm the wrong person to get involved in this debate, my compassion concerning this subject isn't what the rest of yours is.

from an admin PoV making revenue, i say buy an add-on license, solves all problems and you continue making money.

from jelsoft, it's a snuff in terms of revenue but alas with an add-on license it's all good.

as i said, the best option would be for jelsoft to buy out the code and release it ASAP.
