Hi Liam, I am not sure if it does make much sense to address these polite "concerns" by the other chap... :) If the person making this statement can make boards for EUR 20.- each we'd be delighted to buy from him. For sure such price would be possible when making 100,000+ boards. We do runs of 100, we have to pay for electronics recycling (WEEE) registration, we pay tax, etc. I am sure hobbyists only doing a few boards can get around such things, we can't. We can't get even near this figure. For the record: the board is EUR 90.-; EUR 100.- is with cables we also have to buy to resell them. The donations asked for are for the preservation project, maybe it would have made sense to read the donations text file enclosed. And yes, even MS Office has student and pro editions available, I don't see anything wrong in charging companies that can afford to pay more. They keep it free for private users, at least for our product.
