As is the case with other Toolchest products, one may choose to take out a binary distribution license that will permit one to distribute product based on the licensed source. Of course, this costs money, but one is always free to find something else that meets his needs.

Those spoiled children contrasting the products of the profit-oriented against the selfless copyleft'ers should remember that much of the sustenance of the latter comes from the former.
