Nah - I used to write shareware...
and I know just how few people paid up. So little it wasn't worth the hassle of charging unless you did the freebie in such a way that they had to pay at some point.
This way if people want to use the document professionally then they have to pay because otherwise its branding would be advertising our stuff rather than theirs. But if they're skint, then they'll not pay and the branding won't be much of an issue.
I think that gives maximum benefit for all concerned, with the minimum of fuss. Maybe.
