Free Software does not equal no cost software.

I am still not sure how I feel about it though. – cprofitt

I think you mean Open Source Software does not equal no cost or Free software . . . which mean you are FREE to view and modify the source so you can improve, learn from and tailor the software to your needs . . . For example you can fix bugs that the Application developer hasn’t addressed yet or even ad features to an Application.

As far as the ubuntu app store . . . I don’t think it is a bad idea to have paid apps for linux . . . . Why not their are paid app for android . . . but still a boat load of free ones . . . Maby we will even get Adobe Photoshop for linux or even Netflix!

Or like others have said it will encourage independent developers to make cool and useful little apps like games and what not. I see no evil here.

Everybody has bills to pay . . . we do not (yet) live in the blissful socialist society that most of use linux enthusiasts dream of, and until then this is a GREAT way to move towards ubuntu becoming a more commercially embraced platform where individuals who choice to develop Applications for uBuntu will be able to be rewarded financially as well.

I rarely pay for an app but that doesn’t mean I don’t think that App Developers should be paid. In fact I believe that most App Developers are UNDER PAID.

The following is a reply to a tread I made in the Ubuntu Forums under Thread: What Do You Think Of Ubuntu’s 10.10 Software Center And The Ability To Purchase Apps which you can find here!
