Filter Forge - Commercial Version Launch Questions

With the commercial release of FF coming closer, a few questions are coming to my mind.

1) Those who earned a free version, will they get a boxed version via mail (if a boxed version is planned at all) or will that be a download version?

2) How many filters will the commercial release ship with?

3) Will it include filters authored by beta-testers? If so, will these have to be updated in any way (say, removing obsolete components) by their authors before being eligible for inclusion?

They'll get a download version by email. A hardcopy is planned (a slim DVD case with a CD).

Same number as included with the current beta.

No, we'll include only in-house filters.

Furthermore - if I have read the license agreement correctly - the final release version may only be used on ONE client machine, whereas the current beta version may be used on an unlimited number of clients, correct?

I don't remember the details, but looks correct.

If that's correct, have you considered extending the reward program to give out additional client/seat licenses after the 5th reward? smile;)

Yes, I considered that but was unable to come up with something concrete.
Edit: Oh, I misread your post -- I didn't consider this. We'll think about it.
