It's not a stamp of approval. It's something you buy (and it costs you
a few hours at least, hours you must re-spend for every different
program you have).

It's not to put it on the market. It's to use for "revenue
purposes". My own software tools I use to accomplish my work must be
stamped even if I'm using them in my house.
