Tim has brought up an interesting point. Orion has granted free licenses to
developers, which is a good concept. However, Orion not only has to compete with
other commercial products like web-logic, but good open source EJB servers, like JBoss
and JOnAS. It would only be fair to have good documentation to review, and to deploy
a test sample to demonstrate Orion can work, for those funding the development and
software purchases.

This is just wrong. I would expect to have full documentation
(via pdf, whatever) _before_ my company buys the product. I would
want to be able to code a complete proof-of-concept project
and test it _before_ shelling out money.
Just my opinion,
