?? I never mentioned that I have a problem with the expiration date. That
was you who assumed that.

This is what you think. You mean everyone has to think in the same way you
do? :)
But there is a funny coincidence: the tool I'm currently developing for the
company I work for has an expiration date *lol*. But only to prevent that
anyone can use the free demo forever.
We have to cover our costs and can not give everything for free....

I was (and I am still) convinced that someone has done some calculations to
see what amount of money is necessary to keep PoV up as it is. Why not?
