I see several possible solutions with the existing model: a) You invalidate an app after a certain amount of time so that it rejects to run (quite hackish and not very great wrt updates, etc). b) You don't sell your app but provide it for free, though you charge for the service it uses in some other way like paypal or google checkout or whatever appears to be suitable. Though in general I like the idea, but it'll need technical overhead to make it work and I doubt Google would be interested in doing that. Perhaps an opportunity for some 3rd party...
