I appreciate the idea of allowing utility CLI programs to be monetised by their authors. But it does look at the moment like the site is charging for git, pandoc, etc. Is any of that money going to the authors? Of course it is technically legal to charge for these things. But it is unlikely to endear you to the community.

Supposedly: The payment is composed of following parts: 19 % (0.57 €) is German VAT Of the remaining 81 % (2.42 €) 70 % (1.69 €) go to the developer of the app (Ricardo Garcia). This amount is not transferred immediately, but aggregated until a threshold of 10 € is exceeded to reduce transaction costs. 30 % (0.73 €) go to us (Feram GmbH) in order to power this website and ensure a sustainable development.

  I was asking about open source apps that they are selling on the store without the copyright holders' knowledge or permission. (On the basis that neither knowledge or permission is legally required.)

    They claim the same for those. How they implement that is a good question.
