At first glance it looks like it is a commercial product only (understandable that developers need to eat too). Doing some additional research, it looks like they may have had a solution back in the day that was on the 'open source with commercial support' model, but I couldn't find that on their current website.Few questions & suggestions:. Does Veertu have an open source version? If so, maybe provide a better link explaining the different options between open source and commercial support. Is Veertu a commercial product only? If so, maybe make that clear on Line 11. You might want to also clear up if they are a sponsor or not (some people get salty & hesitant with commercial referrals).
Does Veertu require Mac OS X hardware? If so, then maybe emphasizing that again will make it clear to the reader.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and any other suggestions.
