Hello @kl3m3n,
I raised this question to understand how many hobbyists and professionals are in the Gui-O platform community.
In my case, I have been developing a product for commercial purposes for which I am still seeking investors. The market for the product is global.
I am of the opinion that in the case of commercializing products developed and produced using the Gui-O platform, you should also benefit from a percentage of the profit from the solution (product + Gui-O).
I believe this is well-deserved, and there is no reason to think otherwise.
In commercial terms, the most important aspect is not only the value you can derive from the Pro version registration, perhaps with hobbyists, but if you consider the example I provided, that client has approximately 55 employees, which would represent the same number of Pro version registrations. By entering into a partnership as you mentioned,
"This means you get an apk that you can distribute to your users on your own terms,"
you would end up with much more financial return. For example: 7000 x €4 = €28,000
This is an example, and the value depends on the type of final product, but at a minimum, this would be the amount, and reimbursement in most cases would not be immediate but rather phased over time. Clients buy it according to their needs and financial capacity.
By maintaining the commitment in all future projects, you would be optimizing the monetization of your work. The apk issue would provide the necessary security for all of us to make commitments with end customers, making it possible to commercialize the solution of product (pcb) + Gui-O in a win-win manner.
Give it some thought. In my case, I will continue to try to find clients for the solution, but I am already more reassured knowing there is openness to leverage this good solution for both sides.
I hope that other professional users can join this partnership model and share their opinions.
Regards
