A small gain of people using it is still something.
Yeah, but what gain would that be compared to people downloading Inkscape from inkscape.org (where they also find all the other important information they might need) like they are doing now? Unless somebody says "all the cool kids download software exclusively from the Windows store these days" (and assuming we want to have the cool kids on board ;-) ) I don't see it.
As someone said, I think there was some misunderstandings thanks to Martin Owens and my CFS and the aftermath, and I don't think the original guy who sent us the e-mail suggests we must put a price tag.
No misunderstanding from my side here, I just wanted to follow up on some things people said before. The fact that the mention of "Windows store" immediately triggers a discussion about taking money for Inkscape kind of underlines my point from the last mail: App stores unnecessarily encourage monetization of software - simply because it's easy to do so - which in my opinion is being quite harmful to the FLOSS community and therefore counters Inkscape's idealism.
