Personally I feel that those are just empty words that you cant be held to, and you could still use PF to gain feedback and exposure for your product and then not decide to go GNU with it.

Given that you promised to go GNU as recently as this week, and are now saying you "might" go GNU later on, I personally wouldnt believe a bloody word you are saying if I was admin unless you stuck to your original statement.

What you are doing there consititutes no more than a promotional freebie giveaway that many companies do all the time.

If mcdonalds came on here asking to give away free ronald mcdonald hats, it would be considered trading, so while you retain all the rights and the ability to profit from this technology I personally see you releasing it on here minus the source code as little more than a marketting exercise.

I dont see why you have changed form the GNU release you promised, unless its to gain commerical advantage in doing so, but given your past record I doubt anyone at all will be surprised on you going back on your word yet again.

IMHO what you are suggesting doing, is a very good marketting strategy to promote awareness of a soon to be released brand, I cant even begin to imagine how you think it is anything like the GNU you suggested before and which Stu agreed to, so I see no reason at all for him to accept this, you have totally changed the deal.
