Traditionally it is true that add-ons have been freely available, but I’ve known of pay for add-ons for at least 2 years now (that add-on is still available so must be doing ok) and I imagine there have been some around for longer. Some companys’ entire business rests on their Firefox add-ons. That sort of situation wouldn’t exist if no-one ever paid for add-ons in some way.</p> https://www.oxymoronical.com/blog/2008/06/Money-money-money/ Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:04:59 +0000 https://www.oxymoronical.com/blog/2008/06/Money-money-money/ <p>The question about developers charging money for the use of add-ons seems to be getting brought up again lately. One of the more active theme developers has started to charge for premium versions of their themes, leaving free basic versions still available on <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org">addons.mozilla.org</a>. There are a couple of different issues with this, both of which many users are taking exception to. Apparently once I started writing about this I couldn’t stop so I’ve split this out into a couple of different posts to follow.</p>
