You might think you could make the download client free but the upload client commercial. But that doesn't work for Argus since it's integrated and we are all potential senders as well as receivers. I'd prefer a model where the source code was GPLed but the binaries could be purchased if you so chose. The rev heads here and the radpath companies would compile their own but the average GP surgery will need assistance. It would be a turn around for Argus' business model. It's a pity more surgeries don't run ssh servers on their firewalls. You could install, configure and administer the server remotely if only as a one time service. Maybe that's the product you sell. David P.S. I note that Argus 4.2 is not GPLed. :-(((
