Free acquisition licence (D29)

Acquiring Simca costs nothing for everyone: no upfront price exists in any table, manifest, entitlement or screen. Supersedes the buy-once-forever licence

Depends on: LIC-0001

Tentative flat shared fee above the profit threshold (D29)

A flat fee can apply only when the business's net profit exceeds the threshold (tentative the tentative threshold figure (shown only on the quarterly cost page), net after all operating expenses); the more members share it, the lower the price; price table stays PLACEHOLDER. Supersedes the optional yearly update plan
