This is good news to me, the more interested people we have the better
chance to get improvements to source.

This to me is the power of Linux (...GPL) as long as the code still GPL
also after the "commercial" implementation this is excellent.
I have 100% better feeling when I'm supporting other Myth users (with my
25€) than buying the latest from "Windows/closed source" and this is
what is happening. I'm NOT handing out money to the mentioned company,
this is a improvement I'm investing and they have promised to deliver.
The community will benefit more than any single company from this.
Buying closed source SW-products is like burning money in comparison.
Actually, if you guys actually release a HTPC with a reasonable price
tag please send me a mail...

And then to the claim that this is a trick to get the SW-development
cheap...
OK, seems smart thinking to me.
As mentioned, from my point of view this is a good deal.
