I dunno, it sets kind of a weird precedent for FTB to start paying mod devs in order to use their mods.
More news about FTB's Future. (Important announcement)

Good luck in all your endeavours, hope you can enjoy fiscal remuneration whilst providing the same, free top notch (sic) service.
I think this is a no-brainer. You're not charging for mods, you're taking monies to cover costs associated with distribution. Bandwidth/server space isn't free. End users are all still free to download the mods from other sources if they wish and on top of that they're not being charged a cent for FTB. The obvious win for the mod developers has always been exposure. Win win win.
Good luck moving forward FTB!

Firstly...
"People will never ever be asked to pay to use the FTB launcher, to download any mod pack or for any updates."
If you ever did that would be both against Mojangs TOS and the Laws of the USA...as a new owner you might need to know little things like that...lol.
Also, why should we buy products for a company that has yet to update in the past 4 months since 1.6.x came out? (Should we expect FTB to be months behind after every update?
Though the idea to let mod makers sell products are nice because then it makes it even easier to support those guys...they are the only reason MC is such a great game!

Slaps herby.
Yes, you should expect FTB to be months behind after every update.
Why the freck wouldn't it.
It's not the FTB's fault. They have to wait of mod makers.
It's not the mod makers fault. They aren't the ones changing minecraft.
It's not the people at minecraft's fault. You do want Minecraft to update don't you?
So ultimately it's YOUR FAULT that FTB hasn't updated yet. And if you don't like it then shut your yap and let them get back to work.
Seriously unless you are a programer you have no right to complain about how long it takes. Because you obviously have know idea how long it takes.
Many programs take teams of people years to make and months to update. Some of the mods created are at lest as complicated to update as minecraft is.
If you don't believe me please try learning programing. Feel free to make your own mod. Or better yet find one of them that's open source and hasn't updated yet and update it yourself. Don't just complain about it. Do something about it.
In the new laucher you can create your own modpack. I don't know if you will be able to add mods that aren't in any already existing pack...
You will not be able to include any mod that the author hasn't given permission for. EVER!!!!
Yes Tekkit ignores this and they have actually admitted that they aren't supposed to do this.
FTB will NEVER do this.
Here's the exert explaining all publicly revealed info on the launcher.
- "You will be able to pick and choose your mods for the packs. All mods can be downloaded individually, instead of just one big zip file.
- It will be easier to add Private Server packs, Just send a mod list and configs. The launcher will do the rest."
I Would love to see all the developers release T shirts of vary of priced values as support t-shirts we could buy.
Well, if you're going to become a business, then you're going to be held to a higher standard (no longer just volunteers working for free). Hopefully you can meet such a standard now... your excuse is gone.
If you're so sick of permission arguments, why are you trying to start one? Nobody was actually arguing before you posted your comment. Hopefully nobody will indulge you and start arguing about a topic that was already argued to death ages ago.
That's...not an argument. That's an answer to an implied question. A somewhat argumentative answer, but just an answer.
