Great, then its all GPL.  I know in some places Troll Tech says not
for commercial use, however since its licensed under the GPL you can
in fact commercialize it under the terms of the GPL.  They confused
the term open source, commercial and proprietary, probably because
they want large commercial companies to pay :-)  Not to mention most
commercial companies are probably wanting the proprietary license.

Well I hope I can make the meeting.
