I'm not sure if we could obtain rights to the code in order to charge something to maintain them in the long term. That said if you look at the mods you have on your sites now and you were able to insure that they were continuously maintained, updated, and supported do you have an idea of what you would pay for that? If you could provide a list of what you are currently using and a guess on its relative value to you and what you would pay for it on an annual basis it would give me some food for thought.

Relative to the idea of payment how would you want to pay for them? A initial price for the first year and then a renewal after year one, on a monthly basis, a flat yearly fee to continue getting updates, or perhaps some other type of system?

Thanks for the feedback!
