I'm not saying to go out and buy his software, just that he shouldn't be
condemned for merely trying to sell it.  I'd have been pleased if the
point was either that he shouldn't have cross-posted, or shouldn't have
posted commercial stuff to lists not chartered that way, or even for his
atrocious spelling, but *just* because he tries to sell it?

No, he can do that.  I kinda doubt he *will*, and I hope I don't read
more of his advertisements here, but I don't condemn him for trying.

Do you get paid for software?  That was my point.  Maybe I was unclear?
