This process is a reasonable choice. Usually the first user must pay for the whole and followers get it for free. Tiny is organizing a first fund sharing between pioneers who can now pay only for a part of the software they need. Followers will still get it for free. Some may consider that it delays the availaility of the module. It should speed it up instead, since it funds development that might never happen elseway. Some may consider they will wait for it to be free. If they cannot afford to get a share, they could not fund it as a whole either. Nevertheless, if the alternative is to adapt reports by hand instead of funding the editor, it may also result in a bad bargain. On Tiny side they have to be more precise in their communication and avoid misleading announcements about modules included in the base product and not included ones. >From my standpoint, prices must be public, because this process is a matter of >trust and transparency.
