I guess it's hard to tell, but do you have any ideas about how the licensing and encoding have helped your revenue? Have you had any customers unhappy that they weren't able to look at the source?
- gesman 11y agoLicensing helped to collect recurring fees from existing customers. Yearly "Maintenance" fee ~= 20% of initial license in my case. So it helped. Actually I welcomed curious customers to buy (for much higher, unpublished fee) fully open sourced version. Nowadays any PHP/wordpress plugin type of business is based on sand anyways just because $500 on freelancer can get you really far in replicating pretty much anything. I figured that its better to take the money if offered.
