A couple of interesting takes on the subject, from both sides: Developers Criticize Google's Android Market More Than Half of Android Apps Are Free

I have 1 paid-for application on my Linux machines, CrossOver Games. And everything that runs would run on Wine (free) if I could be bothered to tinker, I just have it for convenience. There’s certainly enough developers attracted to Linux to make X, KDE, Firefox, and all the other applications I use day-to-day, so no, I don’t think it’s had a problem, or at least enough of a problem for it to be a problem.

Really? You honestly believe Linux has had no problem attracting developers, and we don’t ‘need’ developers that make paid-for software?

“You’re not going to attract developers to a platform where nobody buys [software]”
Linux doesn’t seem to have a problem attracting developers, Popey? And more to the point, the fact that Ceimon hasn’t paid for any apps on Android goes to show that it’s not having any problems either, surely?
