Yes, that is correct. M*oney normally changes
hands. But unless you want to create a new
word in the English language that means
vending-without-m*oney-changing-hands-sometimes-maybe,
then I'll just stick to "vendor".

The Sqlite vendor manages to receive m*oney from
people who are paranoid about getting a free lunch.

I bought a huge piano for $10 once for the same
reason. The seller was happy to give it away, but
I wanted to see m*oney involved.

Yep, you can do whatever you want with it.
It's as free as air/the sun.
