Peter, one other possibility with this is NOT to sell the binaries as such. Rather, if you want support, you buy a support contract and are given a unique identifier you quote when you want help from Roy or Jochen or D&D or Claus/Peter, plus the OFFICIAL SMSQE the only one for which you'll get support. That way, the binaries could be distributed for free, but the traders would still make money from the support side of things. And part fo the money could still go to Tony and perhaps the Registrar would also get a little money for his work in maintaining the 'official' distribution.
