+# The core app + all updates + Cirkels are always free. A handful of extras
+# (newsletter, download-for-email, statistics, EPK, link-in-bio, embeddable
+# player, show agenda, release planning) ask for a one-time Patreon supporter
+# link (klonkt.com / patreon.com/c/roboburr) to unlock — that's how the project
+# is funded. ON by default. Set to "off" to make every feature free on your own
+# instance (it runs on your server, so the gate is a soft nudge, not hard DRM).
