I knew they would do this sooner or later. I didn't read the article but I hope they don't charge us to use it
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Soren Kierkegaard

They have leaps and bounds to make before they can start charging for those apps...I can already hear the disassemblers making keygens and patches...

they state it will still be free, but they have to incorporporate FOR profit, because they actually started making money... and have to allocate it.

they also talk of some feature (plug-ins) that may be sold, or paying for official support (like anyone needs it!)
