Well, I'm going to have to seriously rethink releasing a free application if I have to pay for the privilege. Yes, I know I can use the alternate markets if I don't want to pay, but that cuts out a lot of potential users.
Would have been nice to have been told about this before I: a) coded the app b) put it in the wild on a couple of the alternate marketplaces because now I either have to withdraw and resubmit, or decide it's not something worth the trouble. Anyone who has pulled down a copy of "Mars Lander" care to tell me (privately at my email address, not through the list) if you think it's worth a couple of bucks or not?
