 Re: [week 49] Did Mambo became too commercial?
So, my opinion to this topic is like some others said before, that $20-30 is in proportion to what most commercial components output to much. For this price for example i can go to a local shop and get a antivirus softwarwe in a nice paperbox, with a printed manual and 24/7 update support.
But i think the main reason why the prices are so high is that some users, take mambo components use them theirselfs in a commercial way, but never click on any donate button. So i can understand the developers who spend their time to develope a great compontent without getting any financial tribute. Why isnīt it possible to charge the software for commercial customers in an other way then non commercial uers?
Anyway, all in all its great that mambo is an open source plattform with rising number of free tutorials, so that everyone can develope the components, modules and templates he needs, spending his time for himself, and then share it with all other members of the community. |
