Adrian: People should be welcome to try any of options 1-3,
however I'd suggest there isn't that much money in selling
OpenCard on CD-ROM (with or without value added projects) when
there are so many people looking at moving into that market. Is it
a wise business move? On the other hand, option 3 looks
extremely viable as long as OpenCard gives the capabilities we
want it to.
Adrian: If we add a not-for-profit clause we'd severly restrict our
user-base and this isn't wise.
