Dolphin 7 licencing

I have been reviewing Boonex blog posts trying to parse the language about licensing with the new version.  As with the release date, we have very little useful information.  I found this in this language in the "it's close" post they made three months ago:


-

"Dolphin 7 Free will have less ads/links, and once you buy a license to remove them - no need to re-install. We're also developing a more flexible pricing structure for the package, but rest assured that it's going to be more affordable than now."

-

In trying to intrepret what this means, I became concerned about the "more flexible pricing structure" comment.  What does this mean?  It is pretty flexible now.  Specifically I am concerned that there will be some kind "per user" pricing structure.   The thing that makes Dolphin really special in my opinion is their free, unlimited license- and changing this would be a disaster- for Boonex but especially for us- we would no longer "own" our applications.   Maybe I am being paranoid but could someone from Boonex come on and let us know that they aren't planning anything too "clever" with the new licensing.

Thank you

I hope that is all it is.  I was worried they were going to say something like "under 100 users is free", "100 to 500 users costs X", etc.  Because the schedule for 7 has slipped so badly a few people have been mentioning alternatives and the name "broadband mechanics" came up, but they have this kind of "per user" pricing, which in my opinion is unacceptable.
