Compare the Qpopper releases over the past few years.  Very 
significant amounts of code have been rewritten, cleaned up, 
improved.  Many day-one bugs have been fixed (some quite serious). 
This was done by QUALCOMM in the free open-source Qpopper.  QUALCOMM 
remains fully committed to an open source Qpopper.  Qpopper LX is 
simply an additional choice for people.  If enough people chose to 
purchase LX, it gives us revenue to support both the free Qpopper and 
Qpopper LX.  How is any of this a bad thing?
