I sent them an email a few weeks ago. Today they came back and
said it was a grand - I think they don't like all these
iPhone/Google apps that people are buying that make use of their
data!
If you get a key for less than would be great, but I've no idea
how you deal with that in the module - does every user need to get
their own key, can you give your's away?
I don't think they understand open source and developers who give
things away. I don't think they care how small you are if you make
money - then they want a slice. I was hoping they'd give me a
non-commercial key - which is all I'd need, but they didn't seem
to understand that.
Good luck in your communications with them...!
