Growl fork maintainer banned from Growl mailinglist after fixing bugs
<i>decided they should be paid for their work. There is one slight problem however. Growl is Open Source Software.</i><p>So? You can sell open source software. Just because software is GPL/BSD licenced doesn't mean you can't sell it. Open Source ≠ Non-commerical. Closed Source ≠ Commmerical. You can change for open source software. If something is open source you can't complain if someone sells it.<p><i>Obviously</i> if the software is open source, everyone who buys a copy is allowed to sell the software themselves and they don't have to give the original author any money. They also cannot stop someone taking an older version of the code and distributing it.
