Btw, I see that you are following a Libre Software + pay for the binaries model. How is that working out financially?

The response is leagues better than the old donate button, but it's certainly not what I'd call good. If I consider only the main sprint on this sub-project (last few months which included a fulltime period of work) and current sales (40-50 last I checked) I'm getting roughly $4/hr for the time that was spent on this.

Looking at other open source projects this sort of funding difficulty isn't unusual at all unfortunately.
