[RTTY] N1MM+ Commercial Software

[Neal Campbell]

I sell software but completely agree with N1MM+. By establishing themselves
as non-commercial and publishing an "open" interface, they are bending over
backwards to help the community as a whole.

Besides, N1MM owns the right to do what they want with their software, if
you do not agree you have  three optioins:
1. Adopt an interface they do support
2. Write your own version of N1MM+
3. Be thankful some people care to do work for the community for free and
thank them often.
