The thought of selling our plugin and making some cash here per user seems a great idea at first but then thinking a little more about it this would mean we would have to encrypt the code (only slowing down those that want to rip off our hard work) and then we are surely limiting the reach of the plugin by it not appearing in the WordPress repository aren't we? Can you sell me your site's route as I am currently leaning towards the greater good of going the GPL route and having the wider reach? Our plugin by the way will pay us per user's 'acitvity' as well as each user anyways so maybe this is influencing our decision anyway as we have a business model once the end user has the plugin!
