Well that's just rude. Even if you don't intend to maintain the software 
any more, why are you removing it from pypi? Since you say you are a fan 
of Open Source software, just flag it as unmaintained and leave it for 
somebody else to pick up.

If you are going to abandon the project, release it on PyPI with a dual 
MIT and GPL licence, and let it be taken over by somebody else.

If you were looking for sympathy here, starting off by removing your 
project from free hosting, then complaining that you can't pay for the 
non-free hosting, was NOT the right way to do so.

By the way, the latest version of notmm (0.4.4) has an empty licence 
file. No licence means that everyone using it is unlicenced and therefore 
infringing your copyright.
