Up until now, I only included free resources in the daily releases. But some things are worth their money and I want to tell you about them. So, I thought about a good policy for including commercial content for a while and came up with this:

Paid content will be flagged as you can see in todays release. I will only include resources that I checked beforehand. So, think of these items as personal recommendations. I think this policy is in everyones best interest.
