If I can't make money off it, I might as well give it for free. Limiting<br>
access to the information has its costs as well. If the information is<br>
publiclly available, I may actually get some good publicity and some<br>
improvements from others. Not much. But then again it's better than the<br>
0 money I would have gotten in the hypothetical case.<br>
<br>
If you can make money off of it, then sure, go ahead.<br>
