Structure for EE 2 Free Upgrade

Earlier this week Structure announced on Twitter that, when released, the upgrade to Structure for EE 2 will be free.

Structure module for ExpressionEngine will be free for EE 2

This is an interesting move considering the time it takes to move add-ons over to EE 2. Will we see this from more add-on developers? (Pixel & Tonic is also not charging for EE 2 versions of add-ons. We regret the oversight. Let me know if there are others.)

Update: Travis and Jack sent me this when I asked why they’re making the EE 2 version free:

When we went commercial we were fairly close to the release of EE2, so we didn’t want people to feel locked into the 1.6.x branch. We also want to give people a chance to try out Structure for EE2 without having to pay extra. Ultimately, EE2 might not be the right choice for everyone at this stage of the game, so until future notice, Structure will come with a single license for either 1.6.x or 2.0 and the download will include both.

This user is greatly appreciative; as well for Brandon Kelly’s similar approach to Wygwam and Playa; BenYourLightsOn for Sitemap.

I hope Solspace takes the same approach with the tagging module, especially since it won’t be adding new features.
