The license is per user, and you can have a registered copy on more than one computer. You can't run multiple copies simultaneously with a single license, though. Sounds very fair.

I am very concerned that TAO has been sold to some kind of reseller who is just trying to nab another $10 from registered users.

The $10 is the price for a new license, which used to be more expensive. That license works for both Tao and NeO. There's no mention of upgrade pricing at all.
I've emailed Mr. Hamada twice, and both times received a response from him within a couple of days.

A successor to TAO.
Coming soon."

It's not just a powerful outliner, it's certainly a great writing tool and I advise everyone not to be put off by the appearance of the app.
If you want to be able to write, reorganize your paragraphs, "fold" and "unfold" them, keep a general view of your work, TAO is for you.

The developer really needs to spend time on improving the interface, it's a mess of features, many of which I'm sure are great. I'd also be a little concerned about future plans to make a Windows version, that makes me wonder if a significantly improved interface is ever on the horizon. Too bad some of the other outliners don't take a lesson from some of TAO's power features.

I do not fully understand some of the complaints about the number of updates--I assume that they are coming from those who do not actually use TAO, at least not on a regular basis. I look forward to the regular updates and to seeing what features the author adds or refines with every release. Unfortunately, this did, at one point entail relearning aspects of the app as I mentioned above, but I have not had this experience for at least the last 25 releases. Nor have I had any problems with crashes since v1.1b18 or so.
