Well in any case it will not be free.

1) we need funds to pay for developers, which work now on 2.0 target.
As you could see we have now good team here.
The more developers work on Valentina the faster we get our dreams.

2) we already have spend few months on development of this Server.

3) I think the right way is that users of 1.x Server will get free upgrade
to Server 2.0.
