Fair price

Fair Price is a form of free software licensing, which stimulates the payment of software licenses through a price that is fair to the customer. This price should be proportional to the value the software brings to the customer, as well as consistent with its financial resources.

A software product can adopt the fair price policy by adding the following statement to its site (replace This Software by the name of the software product):

FREE SOFTWARE DOESN'T MEAN SOFTWARE FOR FREE

This Software was developed with the effort of contributors who believe that the software shall be free. These contributors devote their time to create and maintain a quality product for you at no expect to any remuneration for it. In addition, there are costs involved with hosting and distribution of the product that are normally financed by the contributors themselves.

Commercial companies charge you a certain price for the license of use of their software. For that price is fair, it must correspond to the value the software brings to you.

You know what is the value that This Software brings to you. Thus, you are the one who define what is the fair price to pay for its license.
