* subscription model just tricks people into paying the higher once-off price, so I'd only do a simple product-for-money schemeĪlso from Google Ads, OpenCandy, Ubuntu Software Center and Donations, most of the time it's the Donations that accounts for the most, and that I personally feel best about since it's the users choice. * put advertising into the core app (installer is fine since it's completely separate from my code)
