Aha!
Either that wasn't clear in the announcement, or I misread it.
I am happy with this explanation. I have no argument with this approach,
nobody should expect developers to support only open-source software
forever. Everyone has to eat somtime!

We're not selling a beta per se. We're selling software that
currently happens to be in beta. The twelve-month subscription
period doesn't start until the official release, so it's like buying
the software when it is released, except also getting beta versions
to play with early. Plus, there's free email support during the
beta, and a price discount.
