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 or even
become a patron
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!
