Come on. Support your hobby, not nickel and dime it.
The people who created this update won't see any of that money.

So, you can get it for free?

Looks like that’s what was agreed upon in January
I don't know anything that's not in the news item, but that's not how I read this: "granting right to release" (i.e. commercial release) vs. "no objections" (free release).

Plus, Ben Hermans would have never agreed to something that would have taken all commercial value out of any further 3.x releases. It's not like he cares about the product...

On the other hand, after seeing quite a few videos on 3.2, I don’t see the appeal… I will just copy over a few bug fixed commands and new shell v47 (which hopefully fixes some annoying bugs) and let the rest be - too much pointless nonsense and cluttery.
The GUI does look quite a lot better, 1992's Gadtools just doesn't cut it anymore IMHO - although I'm wondering how useful that is if you're using it on 1992 computers for retro purposes. But I'm not the target audience anyway.
