This is an unmoderated group, and I don't know what the exact newsgroup
charter specifies for such things. Personally I see no need to complain
if the posting is clearly marked as commercial AND on topic AND not
repeated too often. You are covered on the first 2 points, and so far
not out of line on the third one. :)

I do think it would be nice of you to indicate "[COMMERCIAL]" in your
Subject heading. But I for one appreciate your honesty in not posing as
an outsider who "just discovered this CoOOOL Mocana SSL/SSH product." :)

I presume this means your code will at least be open to audit? IMHO such
assurances with a security product are meaningless without an expert
code audit, preferably with completely open source code. Sure, YOU know
you can be trusted, but how do *I* know that?
