In fact it does cost them something. Haiku and Access had exchanged several emails and Access's legal (IP checking) and PR (the news press content) departments were involved in the process. Not an huge cost but not totally free (as in bear) either, as I'm sure one hour of these guys is not cheap.
They deserve our thank you, indeed. They bet on it, having a positive image will pay back this small cost, no doubt.

True, but let's be thankful and not asking (begging) fore even more after this generous gift. I mean, they don't have to give it away, even if it does not cost them anything.
