Why, do you think I should :-)

No, I have no intention at all to commercialise it.  Maybe I could
and just sell it cheaper than Zend Cache, but that has never been
the plan.  I was thinking yesterday that a small donation per 
licensed copy would be nice and wondered whether people would be
willing to pay (I'm thinking just a few dollars here). Covering the
costs of my colo machine would be the aim, but I'm not in this
for the money.  I get paid pretty well for my day job, make more than
if I sold the cache at even Zend prices, and one of the rules is that 
employees aren't supposed to work for another company anyway, so I'm 
happy to stick with that for the moment.
