Which brings me to another (related) topic): How to earn money
distributing Python software?
I'm currently trying to make up my mind about exactly this problem
area: How can I get some reward back when writing software like
decompyle and bridgekeeper?
I would be very gald if someone could share his/her experiances on
this topic!
- Sell it via micro-payment?
- Declare it "Shareware" and hope somebody pays for it?
- Offer commercial support?
- Develop two different versions, a "free" one which is missing some
features and a commercial/registered/supported one offering more
sophisticated functionallity?
(Any other comments are welcome, too.)
