[..] I once polled users to get feedback about the demand for a BSD client. Although I thought I got impressive numbers, the "offer" we received was a joke (they would have charged 125,000 EUR for the port of a 5.x client, support for this client would have cost another 25000 EUR and there would have been no updates to future versions). However, if you would like to make another attempt, I can send you the E-Mail responses I have collected so far, to show them, that there is some demand.
