Hi Amy, everyone,

I looked through the RuleModeler source a while ago with the thought of 
possibly modernizing it and releasing it on the App Store. Since a lot of the 
code is licensed under LGPL, unless you can isolate the LGPL code into a 
library and simply link to it, whatever you release on the App Store will need 
to also be available as source code. (I am not a lawyer and don't construe what 
I'm saying as actual legal advice, it's simply my interpretation of the license 
statement. Yadda, yadda, yadda.)

I think there is still a market for people to pay for a compiled binary as 
opposed to downloading and building the source themselves.

We need to find opportunities to _let_ people give money to WOCommunity beyond 
memberships and WOWODC attendance. Whether it's through donations, purchases or 
bug bounties.

Dave
