To Licence or Not to Licence - Opinions Needed

1 replies
We have one client launching a software system and another one with a plugin and they have asked us about the best way to protect their products.

I thought I would come straight to the WF as I respect your opinions as many of you have had experience in this area.

Is licencing the best way to go and what are all the pros and cons?

One vendor cannot afford to licence so just looking to launch various levels of licences and take the approach of an "Honesty Licence".

The other wants to consider the highest level of protection.

I would appreciate any WF members wisdom and insights.

cheers Anton

    I will be very interested to see what others have to say on this. I have just finished writing my first commercial wordpress plugin and had to think about licencing or just encrypting the source code.

    Personally I think that licencing fits some products but not others. My next product will be one that comes with a licence with the plan being to reinvest the profits from my first product into the next one.

    As you say licencing can be expensive.
