The unofficial patches will never cost money. Put simply: It would be wrong on so many levels. Even if there were to be some super simple way to remove all of the logistical and legal barriers to trying it, we still wouldn't do it. It would be wrong of us to attempt to capitalize on that by suddenly shifting to a for-profit model for these patches.
Longer answer: The unofficial patches are a community driven effort in probably the purest possible way. Will the unofficial patch ever cost money if paid mods return? Frequently Asked Questions - About the Project
