I fully agree! One might also note that they also sell manuals which they
make and print, so what they can charge for is:

        - producing the CD (compilation, toasting)
        - Creating the handbooks
        - Providing support
        - Shipping and Handling
        - Commercial software on CD

This is enough for the OpenCard engine, though we should make sure that
people can charge for the stuff thex create using OpenCard (i.e. the stacks
they create).

 I think if that is guaranteed, there shouldn't be a problem.
