Nothing against you selling your stuff, but that's just demeaning to many here who value their time more than you do, and actually make more money out of it, without the need to put a price on every tiny bit of script they write.

Paid hacks, IMHO, can represent a lot of problems to vb.org and it's members, if endorsed in any way by vb.org. Since the community here cannot see the code and test it, it's bound to have some with security flaws that will go unnoticed. We'll be probably see a lot of disputes from members who didn't receive their goods after paying for it, and a lot of issues with licensing keys and licensing schemes like that one you did for that html manual script.

I share those concerns.

vB.org is about volunteers offering their hacks up for free. I am not one to stop people from making money, but this is not the place for it.

Of course, this is a Jelsoft site so ultimately it's up to Jelsoft to decide if they want to go down that road.
