RE: Keep ISPcP free?
Even though the ispcp developers probably didn't have any choice on the licensing since this is "only" a fork of another GPLed project, I sincerely hope that the one who chose to make it available for free did that for a good reason.
I personally like the philosophy behind open source software and invest at least some of my free time helping where I can.
I didn't choose ispcp because it is free as in free beer. There are so many other free and maybe opensource alternatives around.
I am not willing to pay for software that was formerly free (as in beer) software.
But I was pretty damn sure willing to pay for priority support by competent developers or other people with in-depth knowledge.
Even though I'm still a university student and don't earn that much money from my part time job, I donate some part of my money every month to different organizations (e.g. EFF, FSFE, some smaller Open Source Software Projects have also gotten some money from me).

The Donating model doesn't pay for the developers bills in such small projects as ispcp is, but on the other hand it leaves it up to me how much the work of others is worth for me.
