Will Apple's SDK Lure Away Free Software Developers?

Apple's recent SDK announcement set off an interesting friendly discussion among bloggers about free vs. nearly free software. Jens Alfke says he appreciates all the work open source software developers do, but notes ...a lot of freeware gets abandoned by its developers, because the developers are just doing it for fun and run out of time or energy. Thatﾒs sad. And I think a moderate infusion of cash can definitely help alleviate those problems.

Well, that depends on who you talk to. ZDNet's Dana Blankenhorn says the move is simply a way to forestall bigger market share losses to Google.
