A fair question. I'm afraid the answer is yes, though. There's quite a 
bit of work in Box Backup, and a load of generic useful bits and 
pieces. While I'm happy for people to use it for whatever they want 
(because I have benefited from the work of others released under the 
BSD license) I did write it during time I could have spent on paid 
work. As such I wouldn't mind a little acknowledgment in return if 
someone decides to use it commercially.
