It won't be open source. I plan to sell it for a low price. Why? Because: One trend I've noticed as more and more Open Source/Free Software projects flow into the mainstream public, is that the general public assumes that if they can download it for free, everything associated with that project must be free, including providing hosting, updates, mailing lists, and documentation and of course software development, which is the big part. They don't seem to realize that time costs money. Servers cost money. Living costs money. I believe I have worked hard over the last four years on KBasic and it is not just another text editor. It's something big, really big. So please do not forget if anything, Free Software is anything but "free" in terms of cost, because we (the developers) bear the burden of costs, so the users can have something useful to use, for "Free". I tried and I tried very hard to get some help from other people to get things started, so though there have been about 100 email contacts from people offering help, but in the end it happend that I had to do all on my own. So changed my mind and I hope you appreciate my way of doing good software for Linux to bring it on top, especially in the Desktop market.
