A License Model for Typemill Plugins

Open source projects are cool, but in many cases they will ruin the founder. I really love Typemill, I have so many ideas for it, and I really want to spend more time on it in future. The only way to do this is to create a sustainable business model. After month of work, I introduced a license system for plugins, themes, and services. Hopefully, this will become a turning point for Typemill in future.

I think the model is super fair: Typemill is still open source (MIT) and free for use. For advanced plugins, you can buy a MAKER license or a BUSINESS-license. Both licenses are subscriptions: With a MAKER license you can use all MAKER products for one Typemill website and one year. With a BUSINESS license you can use all MAKER and BUSINESS products for one Typemill website and one year: https://typemill.net/license/buy

There are three MAKER plugins out now, and I will add new MAKER and BUSINESS plugins every month. Let me know what you think about this business-model, I think it is pretty unique in the space of Content Management Systems.
