[SailfishDevel] Commercial apps - when?

[Peter]

I do not get you. Are you against Donations?
I think it is great step. Of course it would be nice to have a Payment 
option. But not all software is made based on payment.
There are tons of software that work by donations. Most famous one, 
without beeing the next big thing, is the Apachee Web server.
Another one is the Famous J2EE Aplication Server from JBoss. Actually 
the JBoss Server is a Paradigm shift in market. They became markt leader 
within view years.

I am not saying Payment stuff is rubbish. I think it should also an 
option. For Software that does not work like Apache, JBoss or Star 
Citizen (The next Big thing ...).
But to have the Option is freedom. And freedom we want or?

Cheers
Peter
