    In the beginning, I was considering releasing femm as some sort of
    commercial product. However, the more I thought about it, the more it
    seemed like commercializing the program would be a big pain in the butt
    for not a whole lot of money. In the long run, it seemed like everyone
    would get more out of it as a freely available, open source project.
    Besides, I'm a terrible salesman....

    Dave.
