Hello

First many Thanks for providing the really useful Software by spending  
your valuable time.

For the makeing money problem: What about a non-commercial version  
which is fee-free usable for all non-profit cases and a "commercial"  
version with a low fee per client? Payment should be possible by  
credit-card and per order/invoice.
We would have no problem to spend some bucks if we got a invoice  
saying x License per x Euro/Dollar to get the accounting staff happy.

Obviously this will only work on goodwill base, but it may be start.

Regards

Andreas
