Hypothetically, if i as a freelancer only recorded 1 commercial song for an entire year using Reaper and i only used the program that ONCE, but the other part of my freelance earnings came from say photography or anything else completely unrelated and surpassed the $20k USD revenue figure, then i would be quite disappointed and lose a LOT of respect for Cockos if they considered that to fall within the more expensive license. It also seems to go against everything they stand for (or at least what they 'project' to the public in my eye).

If i'm wrong, then as i said above i'm disappointed. But i also think they should clear up that wording since there's obviously some interpretation issues.

FYI, i have the commercial license.
