I had almost given the idea away until a poster raised the issue that
he could not really use a database module which the developer did not
consider a serious development project (or words to that effect).

For people who are of a like mind - for release 0.30 and later we are
going to offer commercial support.  This should do a number things:

1- Convince potential users that we do take development and support for
   the module seriously.

2- Provide us with a little bit of compensation for what we would
   probably do anyway.  If an income stream can be derived from the
   module then additional features and bugfixes become a higher
   priority relative to other tasks which do not generate a cash flow.

3- If you work for an organisation which has a policy of only using
   software which is commercially supported - you will soon have the
   option of using the Sybase module.

The terms and cost of the support contract have not been decided
yet.

- Dave
