He would have a point if (and only if) those associated with MAPS induced
others to support their abuse prevention system by promising (or at least
implying) that it would be free forever. It would certainly be deceptive and
dishonest to build support and a client base for a service by offering it
for free with the secret intention of suddenly switching to a fee-based
system after support was widely available and relied upon.
