nLite, Driver packs, Ryan's packs etc, hell even the forums themselves - they all ask for donations. A donation implies an optional no-pressure gift. Maybe it's just me, but your topic title "Question: Pay for AutoIt?, Scripters for hire " does not imply an optional payment, but more a compulsory payment for services rendered. That is the way that most people will take your question, and (purely personally) while I will consider donating for work done by others that I find useful, I would not pay a compulsory fee for an autoit script unless it was personally written for me, to my specs, with the code becoming my property after payment - as I would do in a normal commercial situation (and I write code both for commercial and freeware markets, have for years). If you had just mentioned having a repositry of scripts with a donation button, you would probably have made more than you were expecting already, and this thread would be a lot shorter. SP.
