[GNC] Cashdera 0.2.0 release

[Tom Route36]

Hi Will,

I noticed a similar statement by Ars in a reply he made to John Ralls:

--> "It is free, and the current Cashdera feature set is intended to 
remain free."

The two red flags in that sentence are "current" and "intended". Ars 
basically says that *future* features almost certainly won't be free, 
and quite likely (in the future) even the *current* features will cost 
you money too.

Essentially, this is asking for folks here to provide free QA testing 
for this Cashdera beta software.  And once you get hooked on it (if you 
really want to keep using it), you're going to have to start paying for 
it.  What a deal!  No thanks.

Tom

That is a very clear signal that the app is being released as a teaser to get people to pay to update to the non-free version.
