Re: [pygame] pygame for commercial use

[Austin Haas <pygame@slippypeople.com>]

Have there been any commercial pygame projects? I know that will be my 
employer's first question. I downloaded Solarwolf, and it certainly has all 
the features we would be looking for, but it would be better (to them) to see 
a commercial project.

I hope I don't sound like I am coming from the evil/greedy dark side. I just 
want to use Pygame at work, and get our whole team on it.
