The developer of CSV 2 POST has some impressive upgrades planned including something to do with blog too blog publishing where you can use one wordpress to publish to many others! Looks like it will be provided as part of the package in a later version at no further cost. Does CSV Import have anything like that?!

As I'm not that technical I value the service / help I get for paying a little for something. Particularly if it has functionality I can't get elsewhere. Hand on heart, I've only ever bought one paid plugin for the last reason I mentioned, it was $30 and worth every single penny! @ Mark, You'll be able to customise a merchant feed to go in there. Just change the header names. Drop me a line via my contact form if you're confused. Also, Jason is a very responsive sort of guy. I'm sure he'll see you right. @ Debbie, Why thankyou I always really appreciate it when people pop up just to say "thanks". I hope you enjoy the blog for some time to come! @ blair, I don’t really mind paying a bit for a plugin (or for a premium theme) if it is going to be fully supported.

However, the point is, Wordpress is an open source project, and selling plugins that are derivative works of Wordpress goes against the spirit of sharing for free that is at the heart of open source. I am an active member of the Drupal community, and it is unheard of to sell a Drupal module (equivilant to a Wordpress plugin). Even if one did, there is nothing stopping the buyer from giving it away to everyone else for free, since any derived work is covered by the same GPL as Drupal. Perhaps Wordpress works differently? Who knows. Yes I agree with you.

If I were to commission a company to do some work for me that saved me hours and hours of work, then I'd pay them. If they happen to have created a tool that saves them hours and hours of work too, then they will increase their margin on that contract. To commercialise that tool further, they happen to sell it.

Don't think he needs to worry about spammers stumping up $99... not with OS stuff like wp-omatic freely available ;-) That said, I can think of a couple of people who would be interested in this so will forward details...
