I wasn't suggesting that for binarycloud, just airing my views in public 
:-)  Some things should be free for all - base applications, operating 
systems etc.  I mean that the things that run on top of them - forums, 
shopping carts, code editors, shouldn't have to be free for business use - 
which seems to be the accepted view.

It is very hard to draw that line, but I hope you understand what I'm on 
about :-)
