Ok,  I have contacted them to see if there is a way Lugs can at least
promote this product,

On the other hand,  forging links with linux user groups could be a way
they can build up a localised support base,  they could even pay you to
support it,  I do see your point though,  but so far they have got free
advertising through the lug and will get more as this thread grows.

Will let you know what they say.
