> JK: YUMGUI is a good little tool. I know that some businesses would keep
> this as a commercial product.
Any business selling the software *must* keep it as a commercial product. Regardless of whether it's proprietary or free, ff they're making money with it, it's commercial. You may be confusing "commercial" with "proprietary"; they are not synonymous.
