I agree! You can't have it both ways....Mozilla Add-ons provides a 
reasonable solution which is also free for developers to use (Except I 
suggest to improve login procedures and switch to certificate login 
instead of user/pass pairs so). If one really needs to have the 
application self-hosted, than the interested party has to cover the 
costs obviously, which isn't really such a big deal either (If you are 
picky then I guess you can afford it ;-)).

However from the original question of this thread I think the question 
was, if to require add-ons to be served from SSL secured sites or other 
secure mechanism (policy wise).
