Hi Kenneth,  
when 100% open source projects go commercial there are always two considerations:

- the project might change it’s goals an move away from true open source standards and benefits
- the project will get a more serious foundation for it’s existence in the future and not depend on individuals who have a limited lifetime  
So I’ll accept your message with a tear in one eye and a laugh in the other, while being confident that a REALLY GOOD tool will be available for many more years.  
Michael
