Sorry - this was just meant to explain our model a bit. It is actually not 
even free as beer, just free of any risk, as people are asked to pay the value 
they experience (it is a variant of the pay-what-you-like-model). I am 
constantly thinking of ways to actually make a business out of turning the 
plattform open-source. So for now, it would just be fine to promote the press 
release. This focusses on the collaboration-side. That would actually help us 
a lot!
