Augean adopted the Orange Cake License
As child, walking through a park in England, I found an orange cake stand with a notice reading:
buy a slice and leave the money on the table.
Nobody was there to check - they relied on honesty.
This made an impression on me, and years later I thought, if it works for a cake, why not apply the same idea to genealogy software.
so, we request users sends us a few coins (via PayPal).
$1 per month seems reasonable - pay in advance for a few years, if you prefer.
Send the payment to
Thanks for being honest, and not running off with the cake without paying.
And for those who did run off with the cake - its never too late to send payment.
