Never seen a developer both talk about the rationale of not being OSS to cover costs, then decline people wanting to give him money...

I'm sorry :( 1) I didn't expect to be sold out 2) I want to provide paying users with an awesome experience but need to be able to focus my resources to do that. I promise more licenses will be made available soon.

i totally understand your side. but you have to understand that the popup[0] that appears when i open fman without a license is really obnoxious. specially when i can't buy a license.

You're right, I'm sorry. I'll find a solution. I saw you signed up for the waiting list. I'll get in touch.

Ha. That's the same popup Total Commander gives you when you don't have a license.

yup ;)

5$ just take my money edition sans feature-request feature?

How did you become "sold out"? Presumably you just need to generate keys and validate them. You should be able to generate an unlimited number of keys ..

....and I've lost interest in BOTH versions!

I understand, I'm sorry. I didn't think this through properly because I didn't think I would actually be sold out. I'm working on a solution. If you leave your email on the waiting list [1], you'll know immediately when a solution is available.
