Macromedia Central Licensing

The Macromedia Central License appears to be very ambiguous for development. There are three options.

The try-buy program that provides a daily reminder and credit card purchase. If the app doesn't include the instant messaging component, Macromedia takes 20% of the price plus service fees. If the pod includes the instant messaging component, Macromedia's fee goes up to 25% of the price plus service collection fees.

The capacity license program that allows purchase in blocks of 100 user Capacity Packs at $2000.

For applications, that are not created for the purpose of generating revenues directly or indirectly, then they are Free.

Questions surrounding the license are highlighted here.
