No, paying people for their time and expertise is a mandatory part of our capitalist system!
Our "capitalist system" relies on the mechanics of supply and demand.
There is less than zero demand for most stuff in the Enhancer package - nobody needs new JPEG and PNG datatypes or CLI commands. The diehards at os4welt.de are trying to come up with their own install scripts now, so they can only install the useful stuff from Enhancer (read: the drivers).

The coders still need to get paid.
That's what entities like Amigakit or Hyperion keep telling you. The truth is, most coders who worked on AmigaOS (let alone MorphOS or AROS) haven't been paid in a decade and a half.
I certainly don't mind people like Hans or Andy getting some money out of this. But before you throw more money at the problem, maybe you should check how well throwing money at the problem has worked in the past?

No, paying people for their time and expertise is a mandatory part of our capitalist system! Whether there is a market or not is a problem for Cloanto or A-EON and not the coders! The coders still need to get paid.
Notice the quotation marks - what cgutjahr is saying is that coders aren't really paid, it is more like beer money.
