Many of the popular free WordPress plugins receive
very poor or no donations considering the hard work done by developers.
This model will benefit them and will give them market lead as they
already have a loyal user base. This is very good for the WordPress
community too as it will keep the best of the developers active. Many of
the features they develop may come into free versions. Or, it will give
them the motivation to develop more free plugins for the community.
