[sword-devel] Lawyer Help: Redistribution

[Tero Favorin]

While I would like to get all the modules free (who wouldn't), I'm ready 
to pay a reasonable amount for modules I really like to have.

To sell modules, you could consider some payment processors out there 
who take care of the order handling, transactions and electronic 
delivery. They charge 10 % - 20% of the transaction and offer multiple 
payment choices (www.kagi.com is the cheapest I know).

That way nobody would need to handle the the daily routine. Of course 
some paperwork is still needed to forward payments to copyright holders, 
but that is a monthly or quarterly task. If you have a good piece of 
software to prepare and print out the necessary reports most of the work 
is just writing out checks (or money transfers).

I submit this for your consideration.
