Was just wrestling with mailing from node this week, and have seen reference to nodemailer. Reading his notice, it seemed like a nicer version of the itext pdf library license change. I completely understand the motivation behind both, but $800 is just out of my budget (and the budget of many of the projects I work on). Slight rant - the itext license change was frustrating because we were using it on a project, and then the license change happened. The minimum price seems to be $2500, and I couldn't tell if it was per year or what. But to have it on a dev machine, and a test server too, drove the price up more - something close to $6000 IIRC (but it's been a while since I looked in to it). I completely understand the motivation behind the pricing changes, and if it turns out that fewer people use it, but they pay... that still works out for most parties. I'd encourage the nodemailer author to consider a couple other options - something under $500 for commercial usage, and a higher price point for some extra degree of support (1 business day turnaround time, etc?). As others have noted, a smaller amount is something I can float or simply absorb - larger amounts introduce hesitation, or pushback from clients on pricing (especially if it's a term/time license).
