This is a hypothetical question, I don't actually have anything I wish to sell.
If you had a piece of software that you wished to be open source, but that you also wished to sell; how would you go about doing so?
Of course, if the source were to be hosted publically, then it would be easy for anyone to build it. But assume the software did not exclusively target developers, then it would still be possible to sell binaries and make money, I imagine. But what would be the best way to go about making money from your work, while still allowing others to browse the source, and make PRs if they wish?
Just wondering how easy it would be to keep things open, while still make money from your work.
