So do any of you have any experience in re-launching a free software development tool as a commercial one – or know of any tales in that category? .NET Reflect

.NET Reflector, developed as a free tool by Lutz Roeder, and taken commercial by Red-Gate would be a nice object lesson.
- sorchr 16y agoTrue - but don't you think the negativity surrounding this would have been a lot less, had Lutz himself decided to make it a commercial product?
- michael_dorfman 16y agoI don't know; it seems to me that there are a lot of programmers who seem to be opposed on principle to paying for software (which is a kind of strange position, seeing as most of them are also trying to make a living developing software.)
