This is not correct, all of these needs a Commercial license, although we might apply discounting in some cases

I would keep the express as FOSS project. I want to make sure the "free" part of FOSS is not misunderstood as "not payed, even if commercial"

Unsure, Stefano had it written down on the first version. I am assuming it is to discuss future growth of the project and when it can transition to a commercial license?

I'll remove it for now, I can bring it back if Stefano disagrees.
