 +**You say it is free. Any catch?**\\
 +Not at all. We don't even lock you in to buying anything at all from us, if that is how you work -- the software is completely open and you can create your own architectural masterpieces and make real buildings with them. 
 +
 +Our liberal [[tos|freeware license]] indicates that if you happen to sell your data to potentially anonymous users, then it has to be routed through our payment gateway and our servers. We thought it is only fair that we make money //only// when you make money -- and that too for data that goes to any potentially anonymous user
 +
 +The entire TAD package would be having some commercial offerings too (like the //architectsdesktop private cloud servers// which you can purchase if you so want) but we are committed to make none of them mandatory as such. We would also offer advice on a subscription basis, and other commercial services too
 +
 +We want to be completely transparent. We believe it is a fair deal. If you have more suggestions, we would gladly listen and implement the nice ones.

 +**Is there any monetary incentive for users of TAD?**\\
 +Certainly . TAD has a scripting system. You can create add-ons using that; and rent them to others. We will take  a small slice of the rent. So we make money, when you make money too. There thousands of calculations that architects need to do -- but often do not due to various reasons. For all you know you could solve a few of these calculations, and make add-ons (probes) that can be rented to others for a fee.
