Apologies OE. I have been playing with the livecd and had (I thought) thoroughly looked over their site. I didn't see anything about having to pay for an installed version. Now you've told me I have found it, although it is rather well tucked away.
No, you'll get no encouragement from me to pay for this. It's a nice distro, but they are going against the open source concept imo by doing this - and this after bragging about it being open source on the home page. I also think it is counterintuitive, because people will do what I'm going to do and turn to another properly open source distro rather than pay (even if it's only $5), when they probably would have made more in donations and achieved wider usage by being truly open source and honest.
One last annoyance - I went there originally because of Distro Watch's announcement of the new release, yet that announcement made no mention of paying for it either.
