I'm rather surprised they don't charge for it - I'd certainly be willing
to pay 99 cents for something like this, and I think most users would at
a 99 cent price point for a useful companion to the otherwise free
desktop browser...
There's your biz model/revenue stream, team. Companion i-apps.
Why would they? Mozilla has never charged the users for their products.
It's just not something that goes well with the non-profit foundation
status.
I have no issue with anyone making some money if they make something I
want...and that was a question elsewhere - how could one come up with a
biz model that would allow the Moz/SM team to turn a profit and be able
to compensate the team? There's one example - if they want to make some
money first thing they have to do is ask. Nobody *has* to "volunteer"
for anything unless they just plain wish to...
99 cent price point for i-apps which augment SM on the iOS platform -
cha-ching! If they still want to give the suite away for free, they can
still do that. But i-apps and complementary add-ons? Sell away - biz
model 2.0!
