Where if you take the free version you get AmberLite if you buy AMBER you get AmberLite + the paid for bits - in either case you get a single download, single tree, single configure file, single website, single manual etc etc. This is the standard model that just about every piece of paid for software / app uses when it gives away free stuff.
