I like your thought process on this...

Some of the most fantastic software out there will only be used by a bare few because of the cost in obtaining it, or using it legally.

Giving away something for this reason:

I believe they're so good, they'll lock up STEEM Power.

Is smart. Really smart.

I'm glad you explained it, so other developers might do the same.

If steem power gets locked up, becomes better to hold the long term, it benefits all of us involved.

Great idea, and thank you for doing that! :)
