 +### Financial situation
 +
 +**Status**: Volume 2? Maybe?
 +
 +Suzanne isn't a perfect person. Her parents have sent her to study in a big city covering most of the costs, but she's not sure they really believe in her. They'd rather see her study psychology or something more suiting a girl - and with less manual demands.
 +
 +After taking the gap year at the University she didn't tell them, still insisting she's working on her thesis - and it just takes more time? Is she right to be afraid to come clean?
 +
 +Soon an angel investor learns about Suzanne'​s project (maybe through Greg) and suggests creating a startup / buying rights to market the interface. This would probably mean financial independence for her, but what about the licenses? Market doesn'​t like open source and she'd have to rewrite everything into proprietary software, ignoring a lot of effort many people put in the libraries. Will she follow her ideals or decide to get independence first?
 +
 +Someone from the Space may also point out that her project is pretty useless without hardware being available on the market. Maybe she'll be able to help a lot of people by selling it - and then making some small opening for hackers who would like to tweak it further?

 +## Loose ideas
