As it stands, I don't know. I've asked everyone to write in and say
whether they use the redownload capability.

Heh, this is open source, there is no black market :}. Realistically,
anyone can use anything they want to install, but 'you' the users have a
realistic expectation that 'we' the developers will provide a tool, and
support that tool. Conversely we expect that anyone wanting assistance
with install will use our provided tool.
