Paid for applications?

[Anthony Papillion]

Personally, I love the idea of for pay applications. As much as I love
open source, there are many applications that will *never* land on the
desktop unless the makers can make money off of it. PhotoShop is a
much cited example but there are others. Sure, there are sometimes
Linux alternatives but, let's be honest: a business isn't going to
move their entire graphics team to Gimp when they all are experts in
PhotoShop. Some might, most won't.

Paid applications are going to be a fantastic thing for Linux.
Charging money for apps isn't as evil as some believe and it actually
helps a platform sometimes.
