He has a pretty novel way of monetizing this
Q: I'm a web developer, what I'm paying for, if I want to use IEWebGL ?
A: You pay to hide UNREGISTERED VERSION banner for your domain, that otherwise will be shown to end user. Or you can think - you pay to widen your project's audience to virtually all IE users. Also you can use all updates for free during the paid period.
It looks really good though, webgl is definitely starting to become a viable target platform, despite all the hysteria
- PleaseStand 15y agoIn general, it's not a new idea; software companies have long sold expensive authoring software for their free viewer programs. Shockwave, Flash, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Viewpoint have all tried to use this business model for browser plug-ins. However, it's the most direct attempt I've seen to apply the business model to an already open standard.
