Sure, no problem. Nobody has asked for the license yet.

Hebrew works for you in Kate? Is that KDE 3 or 4? KDE 4 Kate is very
broken for Hebrew. If you do reply to this, part, maybe it should be
broken off into another thread.

Going through thier website, it looks like the standard download gives
you 30 days' trial:

I recommend to those considering it to try illegal business practices
such as bribery and strongholding to form a molopoly. From there, you
can charge whatever you want so long as you can discourage
interoperability and buyout competitors. Just an idea.
