Hi,
I am new to this forum and seeking advice for an app I wrote. The app is a visualization software I have developed over a few years for deep learning. It's written in Python an directly runs on desktop machines. It was about 1-2 months of full time implementation work and it's after all a very basic tool that fills a gap and everyone in the field may need it. I imagine that when I publish it as open source and on some internet channels it may find many users quickly.
My idea is to publish it on GitHub as open source, free for personal and academic use. For companies I am thinking of charging 2.99 per user per month (no idea if this is any reasonable number).
I am wondering if anyone has advice on if this is a good model or what are better models. Specifically I am wondering about: Since it's python code, commercial users can easily hack it and deactivate the license check. They could also just specify they are from "academia" and use it for free...
Any ideas are very welcome.
Best,
