I believe the current strategy I have in mind is to let any potential new customers to take the time needed to consider seriously Django-hotsauce for their commercial web applications. This includes allowing some time for peoples (developers) to at least try the free version and then possibly consider switching to the LTS version for extended support and troubleshooting. Anyways, thank you for your input! :) Etienne -- Etienne Robillard tkad...@yandex.com https://www.isotopesoftware.ca/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I haven't purchased commercial software in decades, so I'm not up on the prevailing business model, but I have to ask: Why would anyone purchase software and then agree to wait 14 weeks for it to be delivered? I can see that model for hardware, where material resources are limited and a finite number of product is produced, but software? What's the point?
