Please look at mobaxterm's model for an example. GPL licence [http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html]


They provide integration of open components (which is good). Looking at their sources directory there does not seem to be an available build script to e.g. build a comparable installer (but that's legal).

For a single app: take a look at what happened when XChat tried to sell their Windows binaries as shareware: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XChat#Licensing


Does anyone know if they are making any money?
