Thought process?

I believe the current strategy I have in mind is to let any potential 
new customers to take the time needed to consider seriously 
Django-hotsauce for their commercial web applications.

This includes allowing some time for peoples (developers) to at least 
try the free version and then possibly consider switching to the LTS 
version for extended support and troubleshooting.

Anyways, thank you for your input! :)
