If someone is creating an extension for free and they want to benefit the most number of users, then they will make it available for AOO. Why? Because of the very large user base we have. If someone is creating an extension and selling it, then they will also want to make it available for AOO, and for the same reason. It is always possible that someone could have ideological motivations and care about that more than public benefit or money. But in that case they could have acted at any time and removed their extension from the AOO repository. > Some of these extensions are important, I think (pdf import, for instance). > I wonder if it could be possible to buy the service here.
