Do you know how many support members vBSEO have ? Do you have any idea what kind of a support level they offer to their customers. Do you have any idea the quality of vBSEO code ? Do you know how much it will take to cover all the support staff expenses , development expenses etc ? You should be gratefull to vBSEO as they release a very important product for free at vb.org and also support it. It is clear that you dont hve any idea on any of the above questions. Thats why you should stop using vBSEO as an example. If you need it on your board , you can purchase it. If not stop whinning about it.

Everyone has a right to use any kind of encyription on the programs they code. I personally donot release anything that is even a little complex on vb.org anymore because i have no time to support it and i have no intention to help people making money from my work. Also i want to protect my code as releasing it free can help a person to steal my code. Paid addons have the same problem. In order to protect their code and investment they encode their product.

Auality is important on a program you use. And quality products always deserve to get paid.
