    I'm speaking from a business standpoint. If your software is useful, people will be willing to pay for it. Don't pull the carpet from underneath buyers by offering them software for free initially and then putting up a pay-wall. Charge for your products.

  • @HipHopRally Because you can easily make more. Copy and Paste.

    If the quality of the software is so great then why and the hell would you give it away?

  • Excellent stuff Jason. Thank you Bigthink for sharing this. Format is good: short, but high-value!

  • but what if you want to make something good for yourself and open-source it? you are missing the fact that alot of open-source software is the best on the planet
