Aha! So the plan emerges. I totally screw up the public releases with
blinking banner ads, RSS tickers, nag screens and IP-based "phone home"
stuff, making the program very unpleasant to use and THEN ... start
charging for access to the "clean" version only available via for-fee
SVN. 

I love it when a plan comes together!
