In this 'constant on' society that we find ourselves in today, a break is something that one has to do. I can only hope that your break has provided you with a refreshed spirit and the energy to continue forward. It is good to hear from you again.

"EFF achieves significant victories on behalf of consumers, innovators, coders and the general public. One of EFF's chief tools is fighting for freedom is in the U.S. courts, bringing and defending lawsuits even when that means taking on the U.S. government or large corporations"
4. The person seeking our help or the issue at stake cannot be addressed by the regular legal marketplace. EFF exists to take the sorts of cases that commercial attorneys cannot -- often because, despite the importance of the issues, the parties involved cannot afford counsel....
Oh well, if nothing else, a possibility. I have reached out to my silicon valley contacts to see if I can dig up any contacts or advice.

Welcome back Kier.
Dealing with personal issues is no easy task and I wish you the very best as you deal with them.
Here's a little quote for you, which may help at this time.

Hmmm......2,000+ XF licenses - if a bunch of us donate 20 to the cause, that might help defend a bit of the lawsuit. Where do I send my paypal?
Im with you on this. In fact if you set up somewhere I can make a monthly donation to defending xenforo I would like to do this also.

I would be glad to help - I certainly have a paypal address....
But my sense is that this would have to be set up with the OK of the XF team - maybe something like we raise money, give it to them and it is credited toward a fund so that certain non-profits get a copy for each $100 raised, etc......just so it is a commercial transaction of sorts. Otherwise it may be tough for them to account for the money.......
Another way would be for it to simply credit to each of our accounts.....for the purchase of future upgrades and add-ons.
The last thing we'd want to do is complicate things....so maybe Ashley could think on this?

There was a post a while ago about this and I can't remember the details but there's a legal distinction which made buying extra licenses better than a donation to their legal costs (I think I've got that the right way round).

Thanks for the update. Helps greatly in understanding some things. I'm hoping for the best.

Ah I see. Then I guess I'll have to just start putting money aside for more licences then.

Yeah, as I mentioned above, there are probably accounting issues....which is why the credit to a non-profit giveaway, add-on future credit or license might be good. It would be good to have various levels that way, since only a few would give the full price of a license.
