What I gathered from Andrew's post, was that the Dolphin U core is free, and that the core will contain only basic functionality. Additional Boonex modules to extend the functionality will come at a cost. Current license holders will get Boonex supplied Dolphin U modules at no cost. New Dolphin U users will pay for additional modules. If I understand it correctly, your license{s) entitles you to any Boonex created Dolphin U module ever created at no additional charge.

It's good news that see more the products are separated and that the D7 product will continue on its own path. With a few more refinements, D7 will be a pretty decent product.... I'm really glad it's not being abandoned in favor of a new platform that will have a new learning curve. Whatever Dolphin U shapes up to be, at least we'll have more choices.

Just like houstonlively noted, your licences will work for Dolphin Classic or will "buy" all the BoonEx-created paid modules. What other can get for free is just a bare platform.
