Shining Light Productions completely supports its product line.  That is an
official stance and the Company does not back down on that claim.  There
are three different types of commercial products that are produced.
Standard Edition is for developers, Enterprise Edition is for servers, and
Custom Edition is for people who need the ability to issue PFRs (Priority
Feature Requests - 24-72 hour turnaround times - hence the extra cost).
All editions have the ability to issue FRs (Feature Requests - 3-4 week
turnaround times...maybe less).  The cost is not in the software, the cost
is support for the software.

I'll take 'a' and 'b' (hired myself)...
