Murray , There's a huge difference between open-source and paying $50 to view the code for ones own use. Even if the code was cost just $0.01, but the code was not open to public scrutiny, it detracts from its value. I've no objection to you, or anyone else writing code for proffit - I have done it myself many times. But your code is not open-source, and does not have the advantages that open-source code has - open to public scrutiny, ability to share improvements with the community etc. I can't quite work out why the title is "Open source GPSDO" when the code is not open-source. BTW, I suspect you reduce potential sales by not accepting Personal checks, bank checks, internet pay services or money orders. Having banknotes wrapped inside a letter posted to you does not appeal to many people now. http://www.qsl.net/zl1bpu/MICRO/Index.htm#NOTES Before the days of Paypal, I found posting banknotes was the cheapest way to send small amount of money overseas. I'd generally buy USD from a travel agent in the UK and post them off in an envelope, as the bank costs to get a small amount of money transfered were too high. But it is not to everyones liking.
