I'd caution anyone from selling pirated software, as it's criminal copyright infringement
I personally never understood why so few ham developers adopt the open source concept, and distribute closed-source software. Open-Source is perfectly suited for our non-profit and mutual instruction activity. Unfortunately, past (and present) of ham software is full of bad experiences caused by closed-source software. In the other hand, many skilled guys are writing grezat open-source software. My opinion is that we should encourage them, promote their work, and we must prompt much more people to use open-source, which is full of benefits for our activity. Lots of big commercial companies are embracing open-source, which does not conflict with business. Why shlouldn't we be able to do the same ? ;-) Our choice, here in Corsica, is to ban all software that is not open-source from our servers. We won't prevent our users from connecting to existing "closed-software" or "closed-infrastructure" networks. But we decided to build our network only with open-source software, and forget the rest. Many thanks again for those who provide high quality software in open-source, best wishes for open-source development and promotion ! 73 de TK1BI
