I have built a python library for advanced timezone handling; essentially running cron jobs for users based on their local tz.<p>I would like to sell the library. It could be a saas but it would really run so much better as a local library/include.<p>How do I sell a library/plug-in and prevent my code from showing up for free? Has anyone used a commercial licensing solution? Does anything work, or do I need to model in a certain amount of theft?
You would need some kind of code obfuscation (and then you could sell the license key to unlock the code). Could use something like <a href="https://github.com/dashingsoft/pyarmor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/dashingsoft/pyarmor</a> perhaps.<p>But, instead of this unwieldy approach, would you consider monetizing with product support, training, etc.?
You can ad plugin to wordpress e.g. <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/botpenguinbot/" rel="nofollow">https://wordpress.org/plugins/botpenguinbot/</a> and can promote on business listing sites
