Better yet - offer the service free-to-use with some trivially low amount of space (like 5MB) and then charge per year on amount of space ($10/yr = 50MB, etc).

Pretty much! :-) Also, I can confirm that the whole thing is indeed completely legit. The Open Source projects listed really are benefited from the proceeds and in return you get bad code offset cards in the mail.

Probably a matter of mitigating risk. Despite its drawbacks, rand() is used a LOT and works...well, "good enough". In the interest of making sure the code you wrote for PHP3 will work on current/future versions and not have anything unexpe
