It's a nice thought, but it doesn't work (out here).
Markus The (the programmer of the MOBZ-utils) has always put that message in his
 programs. In about 2 years he has got 1 (READ ONE!!!!) donation.
If you have seen his products, it's a shame.
So do not think that 'FEEL FREE' works. If people are using copies of commercial
 programs, do you thing they send a donation if they do not have to??
