Re: [Correction] :BaseKB Pro Now Available For Download

Dear Paul:

First of all, I think it is inappropriate to use these mailing lists for blunt advertisement.

Second, I wonder what your revenue model is, because if you truly grant a licensor a 

    http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

license on your work, as stated on your homepage, then a single paying customer could regularly download and share your data with the world for free. Any university could do so on safe legal grounds. So your expected monthly revenues will be $ 199 in total. 

Is that what you intend?
