Hi Joe,

Seriously, SPAM or not, the post does not appear present the facts. The
site seems to have only one purpose and that is to sell a software
application.

Not that my opinion is important but I have no problem with commercial
posts as long as the poster is up front about it. If you have something
of interest people will choose to check it out.

How could I be more upfront? I asked for images and explained the
reasons why I would need them. I could just ask for images, but there
is a tiny problem with copyright that may arise when I use it in the
program, so I had to be upfront and provide a link. If you don't want
your pictures to be used this way - simply ignore the mail.

I saw no links to 'donate' pictures but since this is for-profit
software built partially on open source contributions I would be glad to
sell some images at a fair price.

I am not a developer, but I can tell you that the open source code
makes up just about 2% of the total code. We are however very thankful
to everybody who donate their source code and give credits to
everybody. The software uses commercial 3rd party libraries and
products as well, the total cost is well over 2000 USD. If you are
interested I could send you a list.

I would be glad to
sell some images at a fair price.

And you would be absolutely right to do so. We however would not be
able to afford it. Our registration fees will never cover the time
some of the guys invested into developing the program, maintaining the
site, providing customer support and so on.
