Ok.
I feel the pain. I think you've got hold of the wrong end of the stick
slightly. The current differences between the 'free beer' subscription
plus the continued need for user login are purely down to attempting to
accommodate free use in the existing code. The user management stuff and
online key installation is a plus for a commercial user, but irritating
for a non-commercial user.
Anyhow, expect a more pleasing 'free use / non-commercial' approach in
the new year.
It was naughty of you to suggest that the app might 'phone home' as part
of packaging. I expect some real free beer as compensation should we meet.
Best regards
Mark

Free as in beer.
Mark, you're breaking my heart.
Your work for the wxPerl community is invaluable and I very much
appreciate it.
CavaPackager could be a very powerful tool to help the community
distributing free wxPerl applications, but I have big emotional problems
with a packager that needs settings for https proxies, that needs
registration, that needs to store my user information on a distant
server. You store username + password on your server, do you want to
phone home and authorize the account every time the packager is used? No
offline possibilities?
You've added a free non-commercial license, thanks for that, but at the
same time you restrict some Cava features for non-commercial use.
Disturbing. Discouraging.
Mark, please reconsider.
Thanks,
Johan
