Excellent idea. At the volumes you are using it now that's $65M/year. That's what we'd charge for the same number of seats at one commercial site. If it were spread out over the thousands of sites like your usage is then it would be more, there's a lot more overhead. There are currently more than 2,200 top level domains using BK for free (where top level means my-company.com, not my-workstation.my-company.com). If someone wants to pay for it we'd be happy to negotiate a standard click-wrap style license as part of the deal. Everyone would like that much better it seems. Are you volunteering to pay?

Always has been even for the kernel because of our hard work to make sure of that.
