Hey webdev,
You could set various prices. For the simple scripts, you can charge a smaller one-time fee and for the more complicated scripts (forums, chat rooms, etc.) you can charge a licensing fee and then charge them again for updates and new releases like vbulletin does. I think it's a great idea.
I don't know how vbulletin keeps people from pirating but I'm wondering with PHP is there a way for you to code something in the scripts that reports what domains are using it?
So when the person uploads the script and it gets accessed online via the web there is something in the script that triggers a report/email back to you saying what domains are using it? Again you know I am not the techy person but I was wondering if something like this is possible for you to keep track of where your script is being hosted.
And then again who's to say people aren't pirating and using vbulletin scripts.
