{{{
Hi Regina and Strk,

We used our own licence key during development, I think it's for the
better that OSGeo will purchase their own licence.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Jeffrey Lasut

GI used their own license for ACF Field PRO and we can't upgrade it
without a license key, so we'll need to purchase a 1-time fee of $25

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/pro/#pricing-table

That's the only plugin we can't upgrade at this time. All other plugins
have been upgraded.

I don't think there is any super rush on this. We are running 5.6.6
latest 5.6.7 has this very boring release note.

{{{
  5.6.7 Fixed an assortment of bugs found in 5.6.6
}}}

I'm hoping they didn't bother to itemize as they did in there 5.6.6 notes
cause the bug fixes are too trivial to note.

Comment (by strk):

Even if it's a really small amount, I'd rather not sponsor
use-license based businesses. Can we dump use of such plugin ?

Comment (by robe):

strk did you ever get an answer from GI about what it's specifically used
for.

Once we have a new staging going, we can disable the plugin and see what
breaks :).

Comment (by strk):

I did not receive any answer about why, only a confirmation about
it being _required_ ... :confused:
