i've just read the rest of the mails and must admit i am more than dismayed.
the shopping cart is SIMPLE, and if you can be bothered is easy to set up
and code.

what operating systems do you support ? all the operating systems that php
runs on perhaps ?

what's an open source merchant ?

you've just described open source products pretty well. you get all that
with open source without NEEDING your merchant.
i'm afraid that this seems to be another way for people to climb on the back
of open source products and try and cream a living from seeling something
that is/was/should be free.
true, if you've invested time and want compensating for that time then
charge. but don't pretend it's better, or unique, or that you offer anything
that can't be found for no cost.
