Wow, thank you for posting that. Very informative. The post and the NoScript reply [1] both raise some interesting points about how to compensate plugin authors for their hard and continued work that seem like they're still not addressed six years later. I have never really stopped to consider either compensating plugin for their work and I rely on them daily.
