    Lol funny how people complain about free stuff... someone offers their hard work for free and you complain? Remove the link for $75? WEll thats more than fair, if you want to remove the link it means you are out to make some money otherwise you wont mind that link there.

    People are saying this is a free program, however it seems to cost $25/$75. What am I missing?

    SearchBoyGlobal seems to be confused about the nature of open source software and about the nature of the $75 fee for the right to remove the copyright notice. My guess is that's the least of his/her problems.

    phpLD is a worthy directory script with a dedicated coding team and support community. The small amount charged for the version 3 update doesn't even start to compensate for the hours of time put in by the coders who have worked on this project. And, as others have stated, when a solution to a bug isn't readily available, it rarely takes long for one to appear, either as a bug fix or as a mod.

    As mystikmedia says, you can use version 2 for free. Those who want to support the continued development of the script can upgrade to version 3 for $25. In time, version 3 will also be offered at no charge. I was among those who felt the $25 was well worth it to encourage continued development and to have access to the new features in version 3 now.

    No one is required to pay $75. If you wish to remove the copyright and linkback from the script, David Duval offers you the option of doing that for $75 - personally, I would have made that amount at least double that. I don't want to remove the copyright personally - I'm happy to acknowledge the work the development team has put into this.

    PHPLD VER 2 on all my directories.
    Mainly because I am a cheap sort of dawg.
    Easy to upload and easy to set up, easy to change the templates, just plain easy all together.

    In fact, just uploaded a new directory using it!
    http://www.currentnewsreport.com

    Anyone having problems uploading the script, or fixing it to work right, plenty of us here will help you.

    Unfortunately, DP has always had a sizeable group of rep happy morons, aka rep bullies, many of whom don't like to have their "opinions" challenged by new information.

    Green to compensate for the rep moron who thought it necessary to red you.

    You. Are. Insane.

    I don't see why anyone could have anything bad to say about your script Dave it's obviously a great and very popular piece of software. I definitely wouldn't take it to heart. :)

    Seems the "similar threads" at the bottom of a page causes pointless thread bumps at times ;)

    usually I wouldn't post to bump an old thread again but I will to tell kidsnscience he can have some red rep for trying to build his post count up with actions like this
    red reps are best used on people like this as maybe with an infaction or too he will learn how to use a forum

    hmm i understand this guy who complain. if this script is under gnu gpl then he can remove everything what he want. if version 3 is based on version 2 and version 2 is under gnu gpl then he can use version 3 to and make what he want. if it is not gnu gpl then he is wrong and he must obbey. if script is some kind of free licence
    then it is not open source.
