Some Just like a car = joomla and a Tape deck or cd player is kenwood or jvc.. I believe the dev be compenstated if it his sole work and i think joomla org should reverse the stance. :) Bolting of commerical dev is bad thing!

However in all fairness the development of these extensions have not been complicated or are difficult for someone without knowledge of the area to provide a better alternative. In fact if someone wanted to duplicate even one of my modules which focus on rss or seo would find difficulty in supporting that area. But you can imagine the dilemma of those who develop complex components in a relative understandable area and see a rip off version produced in an instant As a joomla developer for 3rd party application I believe all the dust has settled and am able to continue to produce 3rd party components at ease.

Personally I have never resorted to one (for Joomla sites) because I eventually found Open Source competent alternatives. I have no objection to commercial and proprietary extensions, or indeed tools (I keep reccomending some commercial software like Invision Board rather than any OS option) but I do find that being open source is good for the continuity of the extensions: if it's good, it may be dropped by the original developer but the user-developer community will carry it along. Stuart, I think you would agree that for web builders, the legal status of a component is almost irrelevant. We just need good pieces that work and keep working, preferably at the right price. Small proprietary extension developers pose the risk of having to reengineer your site if they drop the ball... but life is full of risks, and some do provide original and well-crafted pieces. Best regards, Miguel Thanks, Stuart,

You ask: Why the hooplah? and I agree that a lot of it is because there are so many good non-gpl extensions. Interesting to see that the recent survey of Joomla! users reported that "Over 50% of people have used some sort of commercial extension" http://www.joomlashack.com/joomlashack/news/joomla-survey-says-who-uses-joomla_5.html Good article.
