Or you use a duplicate license key or crack..

But it all comes down to the approach to raising money that Stefan
wants to follow for himself (and I think we should all respect his
decision whichever way he goes):

- ask for money (in one of several ways, some more polite than others)
- beg/nag for money
- force people to pay
- trick people to pay

Depending on the outcome, TSVN can gain or lose in popularity (either
from users or from code-contributors).
