Personally, even I would like it to be GPL, however the ability for us to
continue funding our own development is dependant of finding a model where by
we can make a return - In the short term this is done by 'a weird' licencing
which I guess should be cleaned up and clarified (possibly by its own faq)
In the long run - Once it is off the ground and running, then it will probably
just be the 'Nadmin Studio' Name that is protected... that would allow the
code to be GPLed.. (but this is probably not likely in the next 6 months..)
