So, [MT3 is out there](http://www.movabletype.org/news/2004%5F05.shtml?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). For very light users (1 author and 3 blogs), it’s free. For everyone else, it’s now pay software. Six Apart’s rationale is [here](http://www.sixapart.com/corner/archives/2004/05/its%5Fabout%5Ftime.shtml?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

Not surprisingly, the internet first reacters are howling with the predictable outrage at actually having to pay for something. Others are pointing out [significant](http://popone.innocence.com/archives/2004/05/13/howto%5Fkick%5Fem.php?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) [problems](http://www.whiterose.org/michael/blog/archives/005862.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) with the pay structure more thoughtfully.

Personally, I’m not terribly shocked by any of this yet, but I’ll be watching the fall-out with interest. And yes, I’ll probably be paying.

(It’s worth noting that at least one man [predicted some protesting](http://www.benhammersley.com/dparchives/008289.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), even if he didn’t mention price.)
