Ok, so I've been thinking since all of the plugins on meep are custom-made, maybe we could take some of the unique ones (like quests), package them up (with admin commands and stuff) and sell/rent them to other servers.
If we add a no-modify, no-resale type of license then the server purchasing it wouldn't legally be able to change or redistribute it. Then, if servers decide not to honor it, we could have some legal leverage against them. We could even obfuscate the code to make it so that they would have to spend a lot more effort to modify the code and change our plugin.
Or we could distribute a limited version with ads for meep free of charge and require a paid license code to activate the full version
This could be a great way to provide a lot of recurring revenue to meep and allow us to purchase bigger things like advertising.
Also, I was thinking if we keep the (MeepQuests) text before villagers talk and add a publicly-accessible info/about panel that would provide some attribution back to us. This may even provide a small player boost from players who see "MeepQuests" and google it, leading them to our server without directly saying "go join meep" on their server
I'm going to keep updating this as this idea evolves. If it gets too disorganized, @CluelessKlutz feel free to rearrange it and pm it to me so I can update the actual thread.
