ps. "Free for non-commercial use."; I appreciate you've a living to
make, but can I put in a plea for opensource licensing that will
encourage commercial adoption/uptake too?
http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php makes this point as 
"6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor ..." 
- maybe GPL and offer other licenses by negotiation, for example?
