Thanks Victor. I think that is exactly what I will do... keep using the
RFN's and being very generous giving agreements to the ones who ask for
them (Just for the record: Only Google, but no one else has yet asked).

Wishful thinking: I'm also hoping/expecting that Adobe or MT will be
generous too. In the same way as the small design agencies or the individual
users who donate everyday.

Cheers,
Pablo
