This licensing model seems to be quite better than the current one! What
about View/Pro features? Would be great to free(only at the same conditions
you've written above) some (or even all?) of them...at least sound and
library access interface. I think this will help to spread Rebol into wide
area of applications and better compete with other free scripting
languages.What is your opinion on that?
