Subscription/Service Fees

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Dave,
Hmmm, I did think that we were talking about licenses,
but lets correct the statement.

  I hate to jump in the middle, sorry for the distraction. 
  IMHO, what you describe is not open source or free 
  software, but rather "you can't buy this" software license.
