Yes sir they should be allowed. I know how much time it takes and how your head can swin in code when working on a project not to mention the bug fixing and support that has to be given after the product is complete. Couple that with the ungrateful people that cry and complain when they run into problems and I can't see why anyone releases anything for free.
While I haven't released any mods I have a few mods that are unique to my forums and most of them would be of no use to anyone else because they are tailored to the needs of my communities. I did think about releasing one of them after getting a few PM asking for it, but, after seeing what goes on in the support threads I decided it wasn't worth it.
If I was ever to finish the static archive hack I started last year it would be a paid for addon. I can deal with the complaining when I'm getting paid. I can't when I donate my resources and time.
Oh, BTW, I accidently voted no. FTR, I am in favor of it so add one more yes and subtract a no.
