Thanks Chavoux. You understood my post perfectly.
Your idea of "testing the water" could very well explain why many keep
some utility apps or small products closed source... with the hopes of
later selling a "delux" version [I haven't seen that word used in
software in years :) ].

Thanks for your informative answer... What you said could explain the
