What License?  I would highly suggest you folks adopt a Open Source
compliant license like the BSD or GPL.  GPL lets you sell software, but you
have to include the source.  This should be a similar situation.

Without a firm license nobody will contribute to it (including me, who
actually has some canned scripts that would be great to integrate).

Pick up a copy of Cathedral and the Bazaar and read some of the arguments
online about licenses before you release this software.
