Why don't I charge for my software?
I
could charge for every one of my software projects and I'd probably make a decent income.
Instead I use a 'pay what you like' model, where I give my software away* and trust that people will
tip me or maybe
buy one of my ebooks.
Many people can't make online payments, and that's fine too. Telling others about my software or novels on twitter or facebook is also a nice way to say thanks.
Contributions motivate me to work even harder!
