Licensing: Abolish `proprietary' part in GPL-vs-LGPL
Having accepted substantial contributions I am no longer in a position to offer this. And anyway the offer was mostly there to put people off asking for something for nothing - no-one actually ever offered me money. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>

-3. Proprietary applications of adns
------------------------------------
-
-This applies to you if you are writing a proprietary program, by which
-I mean that you will not be distributing source code and not allowing
-users to modify and share your software; most likely you are doing
-this for your own (personal or corporate) financial gain.
-
-In this case the copyleft GPL licence does not meet your needs.
-Instead, you will need to negotiate a separate proprietary licence for
-adns.
-
-The List Price for a proprietary but LGPL-compatible application which
-uses adns is EUR150,000 per program per 10,000 users or part thereof,
-of which I will donate 25% to a Free Software organisation of my
-choice (as recognition for the contributions and help I have received
-from the Free Software communicy).
-
-Discounts may be available, particularly if I approve of your product.
-So, if you are serious about proprietary software, and paying for the
-software that you use, please contact me to negotiate a good deal.
