Hi :) I think that depends on who is involved in the community of the product. If all the work has been done by a single company or partnership or person then i figure that they deserve to earn money from that. If they have been generous enough to GPL the software then updates and upgrades from the community might be morally awkward to charge for unless a decent proportion of that money goes back into developing the community. If the community is providing user-support, marketing, documentation and stuff like that then it might be good to see the community benefiting from that a bit too. I think the important thing is that people have free access to the code Regards from Tom :)
