Its priceless isnt it. Especially when your a contractor like myself,
you give them a quote, and they ask about license costs and you say well
there isnt any. They  look a little confused for a second then they ask
you what you mean, and you tell them that the software is created with a
special license which allows unlimited use of the software and the
surrounding code to do what you like with it. Its used on millions of
computers worldwide, and in benchmark tests its performing incredibly  
well. Later you summarise that for a saving of a few thousand pounds of
license, they have a lower maintainance cost, higher uptime and hence
productivity and smiles its big smiles all round.
