Question Will Kunena 4.0 Become Paid/Commercial

I have heard somewhere that kunena is going to become paid component.

What will be charges. It is very important to decide on future projects

I read Kunena will remain free, but there will be available commercial extensions, such as templates and editors ect.

Hopefully someone will clarify. As I wasn't aware of any talk about charging for Kunena.

Out of curiosity where did you hear that?

if it meant faster releases and more features i would gladly pay for kunena

yeah...from where did you hear that..?
Also, if paying gives me many more functionalities and feature, why not!

Well reading what Kunena posted in its release notes, Kunena component will remain free: www.kunena.org/blog/139-kunena-3-0-6-released

However, from what was stated it looks like paid commercial addons will be available, or at least an editor was what is stated:

The team is is continuing to develop new, optional add-ons for Kunena — additional templates and features (e.g. WYSIWYG editing, "teasers") — that will be probably become available in the medium-term on a commercial basis (that is, things people will be able to purchase). The basic component and the currently available modules and plugins will continue to be available at no cost and there are no plans to reduce the current features in those areas.

add-ons are alreaydy paid. Some of them.

if they make kunena commercial, i am afraid they gonna lose many users. they will look to something else like smf, phpbb, mybb.
for me it doesnt matter.

Hello,

lifeguard where did-you see that some addd-ons are already paid ?

To use smf, phpbb, mybb you need to use a bridge and can't be integrated with Jomsocial, CB, AUP, UddeIm and you can't use Joomla! plugins to trigger events in forum...

Sorry, i mean templates.
Integration with phpbb and smf is for a developer not a big problem.
