Sometimes we receive questions from our clients about "Why is this extension free?" and every time they make our day. Recently we’ve got that kind of message and decided to write this article.

Hi.....please tell me why this plugin is free?
Why not ask at least $50?
We wanna use this blog, but we must be sure its not crappy coded!
This will be installed by {censored} so if no good code they will see it.

I really wonder why its free, cause i see it has so many options...why free why???

Hello. My name is Ihor Vansach, I'm founder and CEO at Magefan. I was born and live in Ukraine. From time to time, we get questions and remarks from other Magento 2 developers, like:

- Why you use the "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!" in the copyright?
- Do you mind if I remove the glory to Ukraine comments though?
- Friendly remark: Political messages in Copyright are unnecessary, excuse me for my honesty.
- Not that I don't agree but I think political statements won't be appreciated.
- ...

First of all, I need to say, that this is not a political message, but Ukrainian national motto and greeting.

Second, it has a strong reason to be there. And here's why.
