Hi,
For those of you who might be interested, wrt my post in :
http://mail.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/discussion/2003-February/003775.html
As an experiment, I've implemented such a (somewhat modified) distribution scheme for a project of mine, PyKota (print quota solution for CUPS), as described on :
http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/PyKota/Download/action_Download
The interesting thing is that it seems to work.
Considering that the project begins, that it has no real documentation yet (command line help excepted), and that the public is small (I think), I can say that (to my great surprise) in 15 days I've already got one person who paid for the tarball, and several others who will push for the person in charge (with money) to pay.
Out of the persons who told me they will certainely pay, one excepted, they've already downloaded and used the CVS version. (of course I know not all will pay)
I thought this may be of some interest to the readers of this list.
Could this be an ethically correct solution to make "some" money out of Free Software ?
Comments, especially about the "ethically correct" part, are more than welcome.
