OK, well I guess the intention was that it was going to be commercial
all along. But it had a public beta, and I was under the obviously
wrong impression that it was going to be an open source management tool,
so I was disheartened when I realized it was commercial. I guess what I
should say is: Awesome, Marathon is free again. Last time I used it was
during the public beta (back when Inprise was supposedly adopting a
completely open source model for Interbase server).

| "Marathon went commercial"? It went from commercial to open source
| due to lack of time by the guy who made it.
