Do you pay them a percentage for every sale, yes or no?
No, because they didn't ask me to do that. But I made my module known to Keyweb AG before I posted here.
I turn the question around:
Do you also pay KeyHelp money for giving you the raw materials for your language translation?
And for example: Did they forbid you to offer your language files for a fee, since you spent hours translating the words and phrases?
In my case, there is also the fact that the module cost me money. So why shouldn't I get some of it back?
With every new WHMCS version and also KeyHelp-API version I have to check whether the module is still usable or code adaptations are necessary.
I had a module developed that communicates with both systems based only on the existing KeyHelp API and WHMCS API and has many features that add value to a hosting company and their customers.
I have not received any support - even financial - from either company for this.
You just can't get everything in life for free.
1. You never offered or asked them! Different thing.
2. I translate as I asked them if I could do it, as I like to use their panel. In fact I got a Pro-code for free, I did not ask for it. I translate because I want to do so. Yes, it costs me a lot of time, but I can use their panel for free. So I give my time to them for free. No, I do not want to be paid, I didn't ask for the pro-code. I give them something back. Simple as that.
3. Yes you can get stuff for free, it happens to me a lot when you offer free services, like my translation. You would be amazed how many people are willing to help others without being paid. I do, I always did.
Did you know that in the early days, when HTML, FTP and others where developed on Unix, nobody ever charged anybody for their code?
They never did, today most people still use free code, and contribute, it changed when Billy Gates got into the picture.
I never charge for my code, translations or services and I never will. I hope they give back.....and often they do, more then asked.
No I'm not as hippy. But my work has been abused by companies so many times for their profits that I stopped coding for idiots.
All my code is free, no charge. Always will be. Make money a decent way, don't rip of others work.
Greetings Bas.
Ik heb KeyHelp naar het Nederlands vertaald, contacteer me als er translatie fouten zijn.
(I have translated KeyHelp into Dutch, contact me if there are translation errors.)
Next version 24 of KeyHelp 100% translated.
