I'll keep looking though. However, for the sake of the agument, yes, developers *can* charge for downloading their software (or support), but they *must not* make the payment a requirement to run the software. The GPL requirements are strict about that part. Even I could take their software and sell it of my platform if I wanted to, that's the beatuy of GPL.

Plugins developers are welcome to charge for their product, just like theme developers are. I like free as much as anybody - but I was happy to pay for Gravity Forms, just like I was happy to pay for Thesis. Both are fantastic products, top of their class, and they both save me tons of time. I know paying for a plugin may seem strange; GF is actually the first plugin I've plunked down money for. But I think it's something that we'll see more of in the coming months / years. And if it means more products of the same caliber, I'm quite alright with it. Not quite.

I've been a long term user of contact form 7, but have been looking for a replacement. cforms has too much baggage imho, GF sounds great. The only thing I don't get: since it's a WP plugin, it's got to be GPL right?!? So I can freely copy and share it as much as I like, no need to pay a price unless of course you want dev support...or am I missing something. Great post!
