Hello Jim (and everyone else),
Thanks!
The only change that is planned is the addition of a seperate support license
for the ones demanding more support. There's no date set for when this will be
available yet.
We do not plan any changes to the normal license, neither in cost nor terms.
And it will still be free for developers and for non-commercial use.
Regards,
Karl Avedal
