Excellent progress on the JED TOS! Nice work.

I know it's pretty obvious however
4.4 We have changed the distribution models from "Commercial" and "Non-Commercial" to "Free" and "Paid".

Should read

How is the situation handled where the product has a free version plus a paid version. They don't have 2 listings, so should that extension be listed as free or paid??

[mattbaylor]

If it describes features only available in a paid version than it should be marked as paid. If the listing only describes the free features then it can be listed as free.

Thanks JED Team! Good changes.

As to point 6. Reviews and Voting:
I think that a statement about review's language would be desirable, i.e. "All reviews must be written in English".

Reviews currently are only accepted if they are in English. However, after we migrate to the new system we will be adding some multi-language functionality and possibly allow non-English reviews.

Excellent changes, Matt. Especially 4.1.e

4.1.e We've integrated the JED Submission Checklists

It will save lots of time for both developers and JED staffs.

One question:

Changing distribution models in either direction will result in the loss of reviews/votes.

Does this process work automatically or manually?

Currently it's manual but once we get to the new system it will all be automatic.
