Hi Jimfr,
If I was the buyer I would release the code to the community. Here's why. First of all, a lot of simmer could use my application and give me a lot of feedback on new ideas or bugs. Second, maybe a few simmer will contribute to it to add features or correct bugs to improve the apps.
So you invest money and how do you get it back? You can sell features packs for a reasonable price to add cool functionnalities to the base program. I'm pretty sure people will buy those features if they are well coded and improve the pleasure.
This kind of business plan works fine in computer world and I'm confident this should work in the simmer world too.
In the case of a group buying as I suggest before, this kind of business is not very applicable because the code own to a lot of person. You can clone if you want to though.
Thanks,
Ben
