Heavy Modifications - Chargeable?

Contributed by on Mar 07, 2002 - 01:30 AM

For instance, let's say I have already added a powerful shopping cart which I custom made from scratch and lots more... And also, let's assume I have come up with extensive documentation based on my modifications and the core. What can I do to earn some money from the days of work spent on it?




Several ways of charging could be:


1. ASP model, we provide the heavily modded app, you cannot have access to the source, we just run it for you.




2. We sell you the source code with all the mods in place


- I believe GNU GPL allows for this




I'm just trying to understand the specifics and do's and don'ts of this.
