[QUOTE="wewe, post: 32892, member: 14194"] Hi all, paying for MP would completely destroy the current 'open source climate' (which I like very much). We (the users) would pay money to the devs. Then we would say: hey - I payed for this and that function so you have to do this and that. All of the developers do that work in their free time because they have fun with it. I guess they don't need 'customers' in their free time who tell them what they have to do, when and how. Also it's little bit simple to take the registered forum users and multiply this number by xEuro. In my opinion a maximum of 10% would pay (if they had to). So I am absoluteley against turning the 'open source model' of MP in a 'commercial model'. It's not because of spending 10 or 50 or even 150â‚¬ - I did already spend 1000â‚¬ for my MP-PC ... that wouldn't make a big difference. It's because of the principle. By the way: why should we?
