Re ELON

Each LONWORKS node has a unique 48-bit ID. Echelon will administer these IDs. Licensees will pay Echelon, or at Echelon's option, the LONMARK Interoperability Association, US $0.15 per ID assigned. This fee covers the cost of administration of licenses and assigning ID numbers. There are no other costs.

Spiral and Unclewest: I understand the above statement from the Echelon CFO to mean that the 15 cent fee covers their costs, and does not contribute anything to profits.

BTW, occasionally someone posts a message in which a critical word like "not" is left out, totally changing the meaning. I have always wondered how that could happen, and happen so often. But it just happened to me in this post. I caught it when proofreading my message before publishing it.
