Most of my competitors (who provide client-side-only libs) were doing perpetual licensing, so I followed suit. However, there IS a recurring aspect: the customer gets email support and version upgrades for only a year. Then they must renew. It's opt-in, but I nudge them with email reminders.
I've seen a number of client-side-only products that ARE subscription (like Sencha), but they seem more general-purpose, like a framework. Something developers at a company would use everyday for everything. FullCalendar felt like more of a plug-n-play widget, not as pervasive.
Maybe your product is somewhere in between. It's pretty arbitrary nonetheless.

That makes me really happy because it felt like somewhat of a design risk at the time.

That's really great to hear! FYI, there's been a lot of updates to FC's API since those posts, including removing jQuery.
Also, recurring events are built-in https://fullcalendar.io/docs/recurring-events A backend is no longer necessary for expanding the instances.

I just released this today, and I intend to bundle it into FullCalendar (http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/) in the near future.
