    Manifestement, ils comptent vendre des licences (notamment pour des versions contenant du code propriétaire) :
    extrait de la FAQ (http://www.xaraxtreme.org/faqs.html(...) )
    Do you intend to sell commercial licenses?
    Yes. Both on an OEM basis (anyone wanting to incorporate the product or any of our technology in closed source applications) and to end-users, individuals or corporate users who want Xara supported versions or versions that include licensed plug-ins or components (such as Pantone colour support - this is a third party licensed product that we can't Open Source)

    La version windows ne devrait pas être disponible en binaire (tiens, ça me rapelle Gcompris...) :

    Why isn't it free on Windows?
    We have made dramatic price cuts to the latest Windows versions of the software to bring it closer to the free price that Linux users expect. The Windows version continues to include a shipping CD, they can buy a printed manual, and we provide direct customer support to paying customers. In addition the Windows version contains licensed code from third parties (some versions contain Pantone color support, licensed PDF components and other third-party Live Effects plug-ins, fonts and other things) which we can't make Open Source or free...
