Dear Roberto, 

thank you for your posting.

Quoting from the page you were pointing at:

> ..."easy and affordable product"

it costs money - but you can afford it. Well.

> ..."quick and simple way to create on-line quizzes" 

this purpose is also done with Moodle or (possibly) Hot potatoes 
(non-free, too).

> ..."provided with a built-in FTP client"
could be a security issue - unless there is a violation of GPL and they 
built in some GPL based sftp server.

> ..."support for MS SQL Server"
don't read "MySql", it's MS SQL! This raises the question if it will 
ever be possible to
- port your data to a free CMS/LMS (does it support SCORM?)
- be run on a secure Server (running a real server OS).

If there is interest in native quiz softare (run on a desktop) keduca 
and kwordquiz are coming into my mind.

Regards
Ralf
