| Nov 12, 2011 at 10:22 | comment | added | Arjan | Alaukik, even knowing it was open source after reading @Tom's comment, I somehow could not easily find a reference to the source code at the linked product page. (Yes, it is in plain sight, but somehow I was focused on OS.) That aside, I agree with Tom about many not being able to compile it. And it's not some 99 cent app, but €8.99. | |
| Nov 12, 2011 at 10:14 | comment | added | Arjan | I do mind as 1) somehow I thought it was non-commercial but clicking the minitube ad indeed proved me wrong (and made me search for the rules, hence this post); 2) Jeff has a good point about selling ads for commercial products. So: good question, -1 for not wanting it. | |

| Apr 24, 2011 at 21:12 | comment | added | Supercereal | No issues here, good software is good software, I don't care if it's free/commercial/open source etc.. | |
| Apr 24, 2011 at 20:43 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | I don't personally have a problem with it as long as the tools being recommended are useful, the free version doesn't contain adware or other annoyances, and it's easy to find the free version on the site. More importantly, I think it should only be acceptable if recommended and supported by members of the community - not by the developer coming to SU and submitting an ad, as happened in one case. | |
