Hi :) Ahh great! :) If "Friends of OpenDocument" are getting some of the profits then there might already be enough money to cover it. The price sounds much more reasonable than i thought! The BoD are very unhelpful about covering things like this so hopefully "Friends of ..." are less unhelpful! Regards from Tom :)
