All of that being said, I'm sure that it takes a lot of work to make these tools available to us and I do appreciate it and I HAVE donated. But "donate" for every phone? Come on! Especially when I (and apparently I'm not the only one) seem to go through phones on a semi-monthly basis since HTC cant seem to make a button that wont break if you so much as look at it wrong. How bout following the typical software world and having us buy the software... be that for a 1 year license or whatever. I don't know of many pieces of software that make you pay PER use. 
Now that I've vented, I feel better. I guess I'll go pay... i mean "donate" so that I can unlock my latest phone.

that's not entirely true. Here's the license info from the link in the OP
Quote:
Licensing information: it's like with previous Hard-SPL unlockers - every user gets one free use of the Hard-SPL, further commercial use is subject to paying 4GBP per each device. however, if you are a private user, you can have other uses free on request if needed, such as using it on a replacement device. use the contact info below to send us such a request.
the license is valid forever and all this works as transparently as possible, so for normal users nothing is noticable; while businesses who need to unlock more devices than that, can use the link inside the program to send payment or contact cmonex or Olipro if you want to discuss bulk unlocking.

as long as you are not using it commercially you can use it many times such as on a replacement device, etc... by just contacting them. So it is FREE unless YOU are making money off of it.
