This is open source: essentially a hobby project for us.

Maybe this little fact should be made public, and very clear on the front
page of the FPC website. This will ensure no commercial entity will ever
fall foolishly into the FPC trap. This will obviously benefit the FPC team
too, because you will have less annoying users that actually try and use
the product to make a living.

The term 'Open source' says it all: There are no guarantees, you get what you pay for.

Has been so since day 1, and can be read in each and every FPC source file:

   This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
   but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
   MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

It can't be stated more clear than this, I think.

Michael.
