If you're going to send a snotty email at least be brave enough to do it publicly.. fwiw.. I never said free anywhere in my email.. It's assumed testing has a reciprocal benefit assuming we fix bugs. I've spoken with 5-10 people in the BSD community and most are supportive of our idea.. They of course wanted the BSD license from the start, but to me this is a conservative approach which I saw as a win/win.. So honestly am I on crack?
