Perhaps Filter Forge can have a free "player" version of the software that only runs filters that have been authorized.

If I, the developer, upload a specially encrypted ffxml file to my server, to be "rented" on "FF player", then the business of Filter Forge Inc. isn't diminished, and I have created a business for my "app" without compromising the source.

Since the ffxmls are small, the "FF player" could connect to the server, un-encrypt the source without downloading it, and authorize the user to rent it for n hours of use.

?

Apologies for the rehashing, but here are some precedents:

What if the general public could BUY the .8BF file of a particular filter fr om the filter forge website? Like right off the filter page. The Filter Forge company itself would package the .8BF file up (like it's done w/ the freepacks), and then sell it off the filter webpage.

Lots of people who won't spend the $300 on full version of FF, might spend, say $1-10 for a particularly nice filter. Sort of like iTunes for filters. (Hooray for the 'Long Tail'!)

Then Filter Forge company would give a percentage of those funds to the respective filter author. Win win for everyone. Authors have an incentive. FF gets more traffic to it's site, and another revenue stream. Also no lack of control having the core FF program writing .8bf files everywhere.

yes, the filters in the freepack are still .xml (ffxml) filters, not .8bf. but, they sort of function similar to .8bf's in that they seem to be stand-alone, but arent. they simply include a low function version of FF itself to make them work.

Even better, there's no need for .8bf filters -- there could be a system that allows authors to package their filters (in a hard to reverse form) with a special build of Filter Forge that would work only with those filters -- think of even more functionality-lim ited freepacks, but not free and with your filters.
