Why is SurePlayer free?
SurePlayer is based on the work of several talented individuals that have contributed a great deal of time and effort to the code base. We believe the tools for viewing and creating video online should be in the hands of everyone. SurePlayer.org provides a reliable, production-grade product to all Internet users. It must remain a product that is not “owned” by a single company, so that all Internet users can benefit from those who take the time to contribute to the project. Furthermore, the open source model provides feature enhancements, bug fixes, and support for the project as more and more individuals combine their work into a strong collaborative effort. This kind of community can only happen with the open source model — when someone pays for software, they usually aren’t willing to do bug fixes and release new software versions for free.
