A look at the repo here will show which authors use donationware and which don't...

Not sure how you derived hostility from what I wrote? The only thing that's bothering me at the moment is fuel and energy prices.

I think it was Socrates that first said something along the lines of, give it to them free and they will complain forever, make them pay and they'll defend you forever.
Free is free, free now is now, things change and rightly so.
The part of this I find most odd is that someone could spend a whole day on it.
The forum guidelines unfortunately stop me from saying what I would like to say.
Good luck to you and your infinite freebee world. -

Good luck to you and your infinite freebee world.I think Socrates would have objected if he had been given something for free and then it was taken back from him. Any reasonable person would.

After more than a decade of giving away his plugins, with the hope that enough people would donate to make it viable, Fredo made the decision to go commercial. He had to choose a cutoff point. He chose 2017 and up as commercial. He could and should have chosen Sketchup 8.
Your comments are at best Venting. They have no other value. -

Your comments are at best Venting. They have no other value.This isn't a question of whether Fredo is entitled to go commercial. Of course he is. And I wish him great success. The issue is the removal of functionality from old plugins that were offered for free at the time. It raises questions about what terms such as "free" mean, and if perhaps context should be added to the word if that word is used when there is a potential for it have an expiration date.

It's really amazing to see how some people have all this time to waste complaining about a $ 40 request compared to all the time these extensions save you.

Again, missing the point entirely. No one is complaining about paying for things. It's about things being given and then retracted. It's wrong, period.

Hi
I work in education and we purchased a Perpetual Licence for Fred-o-Scale back in June / July. However, now it says we have to update the plugin, in effect making the old Fred-o-Scale unusable... is this correct or am I missing something?

thanks Rich

I'm fine with purchasing a license -- you should be paid for all your work in building these fine tools! But I can't find the page where I make the purchase. I've downloaded the SU Store Extension ... and still don't see pages that match. Please help, so that I can give you money.

I can not use my Fredo plugin bundle, Fredo scale, and Fredo corner.
I have paid for these extensions, but the license doesn't seem to work...
I would like to use them for work...

Adios
it crashes/freezes my system far too much, so much so it was ok to put up with this inconvenience when it was free but not as a paid plug-in, at least i know to know uninstall any/all plug-ins from this user now, i am NOT prepared to pay for a plug-in that crashes my system.
