Yes, developers need payment in a commercial, for-profit model.

There are other models. Since this is an open source community, there are several excellent developers here who have made really nice applications (eg the Tear browser) for us for free...

I suspect it would be quite tough to make a profit selling games for Maemo devices. I'll be watching the development of this aspect of Fremantle with great curiosity...
