Available for a minimum donation of 7,50 euros payable by paypal The extremely cheap price is an experiment to test the concept if more websites will take it. I am betting with someone that it will backfire because we are conditioned to believe that cheap stuff is not good enough. But who knows, i might get rich (doubth it)

I'd just like to comment on your experiment, as I don't believe your results (aka bet) with someone is an untainted sign of "cheap" software and how webmasters would react to your software.

Firstly let me say, being a webmaster and domain/web hosting provider, I have no issues with contributing money to any project or paying for any piece of software, I have done so on many occasions. But for me, <u>closed source</u> software is the issue.

Although alot of GPL software is "free", the term "free" does not necessarily signify "no cost", but simply means "freedom" ie. unencumbered, unencrypted and open code.

This is why the name "Open Source" came about, and words like "free software", "freeware", etc was removed from describing such software. It's also why you'll find many GPL developers announce their GPL software as "Free, as in beer" ie. you get the freedom of open code, but still should contribute back (money, time, enhancements of code, etc).

So to summarise my point, just by releasing closed source code cheaply is not a good measure or experiment of how the web community and webmasters would react, since many do think like me (especially in Joomla since it is a GPL'ed product).

Financially supporting open source software is encouraged by all the opensource community, as the more financial support it has the more developers will be contributing their time to it.

Everyone makes their own decisions regardless, but I just thought it's something you may consider if you wish to perform another experiment in the future.

Regards,

Michael.
