Brandon Kelly Keeps Your Upgrades Free
Infamous ExpressionEngine add-on developer, Brandon Kelly, has written an article on paid upgrades.
The new fad in ExpressionEngine Land appears to be paid upgrades. EllisLab is charging $50 to upgrade EE1 to EE2, and what’s more, they plan to charge for some 2.x upgrades as well. Following EllisLab’s lead, Solspace has announced that they will start charging for major upgrades as well. They’ll begin with User 3, which will cost $9.95 to upgrade from User 2.
SPOILER ALERT: Brandon Kelly is not charging for upgrades.

They must be releasing one he** of a product if they expect people to pay that much, especially considering the free CMS choices out there.

We’re back to that discussion, are we?

Bob, this is a site about ExpressionEngine. If you’d like to use a different, free CMS, please do so.

I understand both Rick and BK’s take on this. Both EllisLab and SolSpace have had appropriate pricing for upgrades, but BK’s approach makes me very loyal to him and his products.
Got to hand it to BK- he speaks his mind.
