You might be right.  But, I don't think that your's is a very honorable approach.

Sorry but no...
if the terms on the web site say what is what, then it is not for me to interpret or second 
guess them. If you wish to donate $50 (or more) for the printing part, then that is purely 
for you to decide.

As to the QTR GUI - it's a windows thing and I've not got a PC so I've never used it. I 
believe it is included in the PC download. If you go to the site referenced you will find this 
statement:
"QTRgui is a front end to Roy Harrington's Quad Tone RIP for Windows. It is also 
FreeWare."

If Roy changes the terms on the site then I would happily change the wording. The terms 
happen to be quite clearly stated on his site to anyone who downloads the software.

I am not saying it isn't worth the money and isn't a great piece of software, but that's really 
not the point.
