I’m surprised… I don’t think bundling Akismet with WP goes together well with the GPL any more.
Don’t get me wrong – I pay for tons of pro plugins, and I donate regularly for usefull freeware. But there’s no way I’m going to pay a couple of 1000 bucks for Akismet each year.
(I run a popular German blog, but even though I do have more than 25k pageviews and ads, the fees are outlandish.)
Gotta say, recognizing where the shot of the comment spam came from really did get a laugh out of me.
I may be wrong, but IMHO I think the business license fee is too high, and if it was lowered you’d get more ‘small businesses’ sign-up.
A case of “less is more”
Wow, nice new features. Thanks
Will akismet.com ever be i18n?
It is promoted in WordPress and there are locale WordPress versions, but users still need to use English version.

The fees haven’t changed in years, maybe you’re just noticing them now?
