Free and open source licenses are really useful. Works licensed like that are worth significantly more to me that works that aren't licensed like that. Of course, charge whatever you want for your code, but I don't think you should avoid charging for code that has an MIT license. Quite the contrary!


Fair 'nuff, but I'm not in this for the money.

I know that makes me a bit of an "outlier" in the tech industry, but I guess I'm a bit of a "throwback."

I enjoy sharing, and I enjoy shipping apps. It's my dream to code for free; and I'm just about there.

Writing the code I want to write, without having people deliberately spike the development process, is kind of fun.

I mention my outlook here: https://medium.com/chrismarshallny/thats-not-what-ships-are-...

BTW: I've enjoyed reading a lot of your comments. You like to write.


Thank you. I do like to write. I'm also really happy when people read what I write. It looks like we have a lot in common based on what you've written there. If you'd ever feel like trying out pair programming (remotely), give me a shout!
