Hi Thorsten.
Of course I would prefer to be paid too. And I have many ideas for the future. But I am a private individual. I have no means to implement a charging system. A possibility exists I suppose for Rolf's son or someone to maintain the site commercially and for me to be paid from that. After all, although I have made the software dongle free now, the downloads are still controlled by the e-lab server. My reasons for taking this on are just that it would be a shame to just see it die.

I am also completely against that the software should now be free, I am in favor of Merlin receiving a software maintenance fee for the compiler annually from the users. Merlin may have something else to do with his time than work for others free of charge!
