Technically it should be like this:
try {
// offer free service here
// with hidden exceptions of course

} catch {
// charge some money
}

//Sorry, sorry cant resist not to comment when I saw the //Java analogy

wordpress.com is a pr6
wordpress.org is a pr9

They should sell links on their sites to make up for costs

Every java error and free service out there must have some kind of “catch”. I’d still go for paid hosting & ofcourse WP! :p

Matt has been on a hot seat lately and I guess it would be really hard to have WordPress.com on an entirely free service model. I suppose it has some big backers supporting it or maybe yet another advertising model.

Considering the things the head dev of WordPress has tried doing in the past to get money to support WordPress *cough*viral marketing*cough*, it most likely won’t be free. Money has to come from somewhere, and it’d be better in the long run to have some kind of honest ad supported blog hosting. Then again, others already provide hosted WordPress blogs for free, and some with no ads whatsoever.

As long as WordPress for us is still free and actively maintained, I’m all for it. Go WordPress!
