Leaving this here as a note for the future: if I or someone else makes a paid work and people ask about it for free, provide this link: http://shouldiworkforfree.com/
It seems to answer all the difficult questions.

Nice find!

Well, I didn't see a branch for 'For your fans'... :P

If I'm brutally honest, none of the mods I've *ever* written were 'for my fans'. It's great that people find use but ultimately every mod I've written had at least one of two purposes: 1) because I needed it and 2) because it was going to teach me something about SMF. Even the mods I gave to the Customisation Team like 'Version Emulate' (putting a dropdown in the admin panel) was something I needed indirectly, to reduce support hassles.
But really, if you're doing something for you, you tend not to notice the cost (which is really where we stand with Wedge) so much.

Well depending on what work it is and who I am doing it for at times I get more reward out of doing it free than what I would if I was paid for it. Yes most of the free stuff does teach me a thing or two so I also get something out of it in that way
