Well. Yeah. Take a look at their books: http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=RHAT&script=410&layout=-6&item_id=450143 Where is the income for supporting the free version? I don't see it anywhere. Do you see what their "total gain from operations" is for the last quarter? A whole whopping $240K.That's cutting it *damned* close. $30M in cash flow and only $240K profit, a whopping 0.8% margin. Did I mention it's their first quarter in the black? Feel free to suggest an alternate *business* model for them to follow, that guarantees they can keep paying everybody.
