Yep, it was a license purchase, sorta (I was in batch 2). From their website at the time: "you’ll be able to purchase the limited version of Phusion Passenger Enterprise Edition for the price that you think that it’s worth. Get it while supplies last." Followed by a big green button saying "BUY ENTERPRISE LICENSE TODAY".
BUT, right below that it said: Actually this is really a donation. The "enterprise" name is just a joke.
