elementary : no
Sourceforge 1m ago : yes
Reason : sourceforge tried to deliver something other than the users wanted, either by providing two misleading advertising on the download page or even by bundling adware/malware.
elementary provides something some people want and in exchange asks for money. This is something HN actively recommend again and again.
elementary just happens to be nice on a number of levels from letting you decide the price yourself to feeding the money back into development.
- kuschku 11y agoSo, good idea. I'll make a webpage where I'll sell elementary.io then. Obviously, the money stays completely on my account, but don't worry, the OS comes with a few additional programs I wrote (or, rather, will have written), like a nicer IRC client.
- reitanqild 11y agoAs long as you are honest about it I wouldn't even demand an extra IRC client. I have my doubts about whether this will make you rich but as long as you are being honest and honor the GPL etc I see no legal or moral problems. BTW: I know that I personally was not scammed and I would guess nobody else who paid for it felt scammed either. I think many like me are happy to chip in with a little money as I don't have capacity to contribute code or support.
